Wizard of Oz – The Pantomime

Fly over the rainbow this Christmas and defy gravity with our exciting pantomime The Wizard of Oz. 

Join Dorothy and Toto as they go on a magical adventure from Sheringham to the Land of Oz. Along the way she makes new friends with the Scarecrow who longs for a brain, the Tin Man who really wants a heart and the Cowardly Lion who is desperate to be brave and have some courage. Dorothy needs to find her way home, but it’s not going to be easy with the Wicked Witch of the West keeping a close eye on her! Will the Great and Powerful Oz and Glinda the Good be able to help? 

From the team who brought you last year’s sell out success “Robin Hood”. This spectacular, colourful story is packed with hilarious jokes, dazzling dance routines, toe tapping tunes, glittering scenery, cheeky Munchkins, immersive entertainment and plenty of fun for all the family!

So, tap your heels three times and say “There’s no place like Sheringham Panto!”
