The Wizard of Oz at The Lowry this Christmas!

Dec 5 2008 by Michael Green, Flintshire Chronicle

PREPARE to follow the Yellow Brick Road to The Lowry for the most magical family musical of them all - The Wizard of Oz.

After the show’s huge success in 2004 the spectacular land of Oz returns to captivate North West audiences.

Based on the classic Judy Garland film, all the famous songs and characters are here - Dorothy, the Tin Man, Scarecrow and Cowardly Lion, singing such evergreen hits as We’re Off To See The Wizard, Follow The Yellow Brick Road and of course the unforgettable, Over The Rainbow.

The Garland connection is further strengthened with the presence of the star’s daughter Lorna Luft to head the cast.

With magnificent special effects, including a dramatic tornado and a flying witch, you’ll see Dorothy (and Toto) transported from her everyday, monochrome world on the farm in Kansas, to Munchkin City in the colourful land of Oz.

With lavish costumes, energetic dance routines and stunning laser effects, The Wizard of Oz has all the sparkle families have come to expect from Christmas shows produced by The Lowry and Pelé Productions.

Tickets are on sale now for The Wizard of Oz which can be seen from November 29-January 4.

Tickets are available on 0870 787 5793 and online bookings via www.thelowry.com
