The Wonderful Wizard Of Oz Pantomime: A Music & Drama Group Production

Shaftesbury Arts Centre’s Music & Drama Group proudly present their 2025 Pantomime – The Wonderful Wizard of Oz by Nigel Holmes.

Dorothy, her cheeky dog Toto and dear Aunt Em get trapped in a twirling, whirling storm that whisks them away from their Home Farm. Once the storm is over, they realise they are not at home anymore and, being hailed a heroine for killing The Witch of the East, they start on an adventure to seek an audience with the great Wizard of Oz, meeting new friends along the way. Little do they know, the evil Wicked Witch of the West stalks their every step, trying to thwart their plans and get her hands on the famous slippers.

On their journey they meet some familiar faces and new characters – the North Witch, the South Witch, a Princess made of china, a Prince who is lost in the wrong pantomime looking for his Princess to kiss, a Scarecrow in need of some brains, a Tin Man in need of a heart, a rather Cowardly Lion looking for his courage, the Guardian of the Gate and, of course, The Great Wizard of Oz.

“The classic story, filled with everything a pantomime has to offer, brilliant modern and catchy songs and all set in the spectacular visual world of Steampunk artistry.”
