Follow the Yellow Brick Road to King George's Hall This Christmas!
There's no place like King George's Hall this Christmas as The Wizard of Oz brings a magical pantomime adventure to Blackburn, Lancashire, from 11th–31st December 2026!
Families are invited to follow the Yellow Brick Road and join Dorothy, the lovable Scarecrow, kind-hearted Tin Man and not-so-brave Cowardly Lion on an unforgettable journey to the Emerald City. But watch out! The Wicked Witch is never far behind!
Packed with laugh-out-loud comedy, colourful characters, plenty of audience participation and all the traditional fun of pantomime, this spectacular festive production promises entertainment for the whole family.
The star-studded cast includes West End performer Katherine Picar as Dorothy, CBeebies favourite Nigel Clarke as the Scarecrow, The X Factor star Stevi Ritchie as the Tin Man and Emmerdale's Nicole Faraday as the Wicked Witch. Joining them are Gwynfryn West as the Cowardly Lion and Luke Byeford as the Good Witch.
With performances throughout December and the Christmas school holidays, it's the perfect opportunity to make magical family memories.
