Lorna Luft, Judy Garland’s daughter, and new talent Katie Schofield star in the all-time classic The Wizard of Oz at The Lowry this Christmas (Sat 29 Nov – Sun 4 Jan).
Lorna Luft’s acclaimed career spans all facets of the entertainment industry. A versatile performer, she has found success as a vibrant concert singer, recording artist, motion picture, theatre and television actor, best-selling author and producer. Born to legendary entertainer Judy Garland and producer Sid Luft, she began her career at age eleven on her mother’s TV show and has flourished ever since.
Sixteen-year-old Katie from Bury, won her star role alongside Lorna Luft, live on BBC North West Tonight. Katie was selected from 160 hopefuls after three days of gruelling auditions.
Faithful to the film, The Wizard of Oz includes all of the famous songs and characters. Dorothy, Tin Man, Scarecrow and Cowardly Lion, sing We’re off To See The Wizard, Follow The Yellow Brick Road and, of course, the unforgettable Over The Rainbow.
A dramatic tornado and a flying witch are among the magnificent special effects as Dorothy and Toto are transported from their everyday, monochrome world on the farm in Kansas, to Munchkin City in the spectacular land of Oz. Lavish costumes, energetic dance routines and stunning effects give The Wizard of Oz all the sparkle families have come to expect from Christmas shows produced by The Lowry and Pele productions.
