“We’re off to see….” the most magical show of them all on a Wizard of Oz Theatre Break
Follow the yellow brick road over the rainbow and into The London Palladium, the capital’s home of the family musical.
Andrew Lloyd Webber’s new production of The Wizard of Oz is an enchanting adaptation of the all time classic, totally reconceived for theatre breaks by the award-winning creative team that delighted audiences of all ages with their recent London Palladium revival of The Sound of Music.
Developed from the ever popular MGM screenplay this new production contains all the much-loved 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 Andrew Lloyd Webber.
Click your heels together and join Scarecrow, Tin Man, Lion, Dorothy and her little dog Toto, on a theatre break through the magical land of Oz to meet the Wizard and obtain their heart’s desires. Watch out for the Wicked Witch of the West and her winged monkeys as you rediscover the real story of Oz in this fantastic musical theatre break for all the family.
We recommend the nearby Courthouse Hotel for a 5 star Wizard of Oz Theatre Break in London.
