Grab your friends and family and follow the Yellow Brick (Caledonian) Road this Christmas for an unforgettable panto mash-up of Wicked and The Wizard of Oz!
Twenty years after Dor first tumbled over the rainbow, a surprise snowstorm drags them back to the Borough of Oz-lington, where Christmas is on thin ice. Teaming up once more with Scarecrow, Lion and the shiny new Tin 2.0, Dor sets out on a feel-good adventure full of courage, individuality and acceptance.
It’s the classic characters you know and love, reunited for a brand new festive quest!
Expect high-energy fun – whether you’re seven, seventeen or seventy-something – packed with pop song parodies and panto magic. Plus a special on-screen appearance at every performance from Jeremy Corbyn as the Wizard of Oz-lington!
The MP for Islington North is swapping Parliament for panto as he joins us in celebrating 30 years of theatre-making within the local community. So come along to Pleasance this Christmas and you can see a politician promising magic – and, actually delivering it!
*** JUST ANNOUNCED ***
Sir Ian McKellen has joined the on-screen cast as Toto the Dog, a washed-up rock star with more bark than bite and a back catalogue of bone-shaking ballads. He comments: ‘Having survived – just – my appearance in the film of CATS, I am thrilled, relieved even to now be offered the role of a dog.’
Jeremy Corbyn and Sir Ian McKellen will both be appearing on-screen, in recorded video cameos.
Under-2s go free.
