The Wizard of Oz
The Lowry, Sat 29 November 2008 – Sun 4 January 2009 Press night, Fri 5 December, 7pm
Follow the yellow brick road to The Lowry this Christmas for the most magical family musical of them all - The Wizard of Oz. After the show’s huge success in 2004 the spectacular land of Oz returns to captivate North West audiences. Already people are rushing to buy tickets even though the fun is still eight months away! So far this year, advance sales are the highest ever for a Christmas show, up 33% on last year. Almost every ticket was sold in 2004, so early booking is advised to avoid disappointment.
Based on the classic Judy Garland film, all the famous songs and characters are here - Dorothy, the Tin Man, Scarecrow and Cowardly Lion, singing such evergreen hits as We’re Off To See The Wizard, Follow The Yellow Brick Road and of course the unforgettable, Over The Rainbow.
With magnificent special effects, including a dramatic tornado and a flying witch, you’ll see Dorothy (and Toto) transported from her everyday, monochrome world on the farm in Kansas, to Munchkin City in the colourful land of Oz.
With lavish costumes, energetic dance routines and stunning laser effects, The Wizard of Oz has all the sparkle families have come to expect from Christmas shows produced by The Lowry and Pelé Productions.
Tickets are on sale now for The Wizard of Oz (Sat 29 November 2008 – Sun 4 January 2009) and with up to 2 children going half price with a full priced adult ticket *, the very best family entertainment in the North West also provides really great value for money. Tickets are available on 0870 787 5793 and online bookings via www.thelowry.com
