The Wizard of Oz at the Electric Palace

Bridport Electric Palace

Get ready for a whirlwind adventure as Bridport Pantomime Players, in their 60th Anniversary year, bring the beloved classic, ‘The Wizard of Oz’ to life in a dazzling pantomime (directed by Amy Carlile) that promises to captivate audiences of all ages!

This vibrant and heartwarming production takes you on an unforgettable journey down the yellow brick road, where colourful characters, magical moments, and hilarious hi-jinks await!

Follow the spirited Dorothy Gale (Justine Gawen) as she is whisked away from her mundane life in Kansas to the enchanting land of Oz with her adorable dog Toto by her side. She finds herself navigating an incredible world filled with fantastical creatures, whimsical landscapes, and unforgettable friends. Once on the path to the Emerald City helped by the Mayor of Munchkinland (Alice Tuck) and her good old Aunty Em (James Oldfield) she begins to wish nothing more than to return home. From the lovable Scarecrow (Johanna Leins) seeking a brain to the brave Tin Man (Ross Hughes) in search of a heart, and the timid Cowardly Lion (Greg Horton) hoping for courage, this exciting journey is sure to touch your heart and tickle your funny bone!

With Glinda (Ziggy Gray) there to support Dorothy when times get tough (no thanks to the Wicked Witch of the West played by Hatti Amos and her henchman monkeys brought to life by Olivia Grinter and Mandy Knott Radford) she is sure to succeed. Be sure that Sandra the Super Witch of the South (Rupert Oldfield) The Wizard of Oz (Teresa Grinter) and the Two Green Guardians of the Green Gates (Jess Goldstone and Amy Day) will keep things colourful as Dorothy and her friends traverse the twists and turns of their adventure.

Expect catchy songs, wonderful choreography, and plenty of audience participation that will have you singing and cheering along making this an experience you won’t want to miss. Our ensemble are ready to dazzle you and make those dreary winter evenings joyous and bright!

Whether you’re a longtime fan of the original story or discovering the magic for the first time, ‘The Wizard of Oz’ pantomime is a must-see event that promises joy, laughter, and a touch of wonder!
