24th-28th September 2013
Little Dorothy Gale of Kansas, like so many girls her age, dreams of what lies over the rainbow. One day, a twister hits her farm and carries her away to the magical land of Oz. Come join Dorothy, the Scarecrow, the Tin Man, the Cowardly Lion and Toto, the dog, as they travel through the world of Dorothy’s imagination.
This much loved family musical needs no further introduction. The well-known score includes some of the best loved songs in the American musical library and this RSC production retains all of these in the most faithful reproduction of the original film.
Come and join us to share in the magic. Follow the yellow brick road along with Dorothy and her friends as they seek their hearts desires in the Emerald City, always remembering that there is “no place like home”!
