Since this new production of the classic story began performances in Toronto on
December 20, 2012 it has been an audience favourite, selling out most
performances, garnering enthusiastic standing ovations at every single
show and already building a loyal following of repeat attendees.
Of
course, the show is perfect for family audiences, as to be expected.
However, the big surprise in the audience is the large number of young
couples on dates. In their twenties or early thirties, these people grew
up with the story and are now coming back to it as young adults to look
anew at the iconic characters and songs. For them, THE WIZARD OF OZ
is the perfect date show -- a big, bold and thrilling new telling of
the story, and the perfect way with which to celebrate that sweetest of
all occasions, Valentine's Day.
Starring Danielle Wade as Dorothy, who was chosen by the Canadian public
through CBC TV's ‘Over The Rainbow’, and an all-Canadian cast, THE WIZARD OF OZ is playing to diverse
audiences of every age.
Also
starring in feature roles are Cedric Smith as the Wizard, Lisa Horner as the Wicked Witch of the West, Mike
Jackson as the Tin Man, Lee MacDougall as the Lion, Jamie
McKnight as the Scarecrow and Robin Evan Willis as Glinda.
The ensemble includes: Larry
Mannell as Uncle Henry, Charlotte Moore as Auntie Em, Jordan
Bell, Eric Coles, Sam DiGiuseppe, Chelsey Duplak, John Edwards, Kelly Grainger,
Sarah Higgins, Julianne Hobby, Jason Huska, Zak Kearns, Ayrin Mackie, Anthony
MacPherson, Stewart Adam McKensy, Julia McLellan, Kristen Pottle, Alana
Randall, Adam Sergison, Sarah Slywchuk, Andrew Taylor, Jesse Weafer, Cleopatra
Williams, Ryan Wilson and Alyson Workman.
Andrew Lloyd Webber’s new production of THE
WIZARD OF OZ is an enchanting adaptation of the all-time classic,

Developed from the ever popular
MGM screenplay, this new production contains all the beloved songs from the
Oscar®-winning movie score, all the favourite characters and iconic moments,
plus a few surprises along the way, including new songs by Tim Rice and Andrew
Lloyd Webber.
