Christmas will be very special and unlike any other in Brighton this year as Theatre Royal Brighton Productions and First Family Entertainment present THE WIZARD OF OZ, our first-ever family musical.

This spectacular family musical, based on the much-loved MGM film, is sure to be a magical treat that will enthral the whole family from grandparents to the smallest of munchkins!

Dorothy dreams of a better place where hateful neighbours won’t torment her little dog, Toto, so she plans to run away but something magical happens and she is transported to the land beyond the rainbow.

Join Dorothy and Toto on a twister of an adventure and meet all her special friends, Tin Man, Scarecrow and the cowardly Lion, as they journey to the magical Emerald City chasing their dreams.

This brand new production is directed by award-winning musical star, Tim Flavin, who was recently nominated for another Olivier Award for his stunning performance in My One And Only at London’s Piccadilly Theatre.

With a full cast of top-class West End musical performers, songs from the MGM classic including We’re Off To See The Wizard, Follow The Yellow Brick Road and Somewhere Over The Rainbow, it’s time to put on your ruby slippers, click your heels three times and book your tickets now.
