It will be produced by the same creative team behind the last few pantomimes at the venue – writer, lyricist and director James Barry and composer Simon Slater.

This successful partnership was nominated for their original musical score for Beauty and the Beast in the Great British Pantomime Awards’ Musical Achievement Award. James Barry was also nominated for Best Script in the Great British Pantomime Awards for his script of Dick Whittington.

Alongside the professional cast will be a support cast of local young performers.

Brim full of original songs, corny jokes and loads of audience participation, The Wizard of Oz promises to be a spectacular production. When it comes to festive fun there really is no place like the Theatre Royal Winchester.

The Wizard of Oz at the Theatre Royal Winchester runs from December 3 to January 2.
