Anne said: “We specialise in keeping students motivated and aim to achieve a disciplined approach to all aspects of stage work in well-structured, low cost, value-for-money weekly classes.”

‘The Wizard of Oz’, famous as a film starring Judy Garland, was adapted from L Frank Baum’s book.

It tells the story of Dorothy and her dog Toto who join up with Scarecrow, Tin Man and Lion on a series of fantastic adventures, encountering the Wicked Witch of the West, Glinda and the Munchkins along the way. The well-known songs include ‘Somewhere over the Rainbow’ and ‘Ding Dong the Witch is Dead’.

Anne said: “This is a wonderful, charming and uplifting musical to delight everyone.”

Tickets are available from 01422 200334 or the Playhouse box office on 01422 365998.
