The Broadway Theatre will host the New World Productions Easter extravaganza, a lavish professional production of The Wizard of Oz.







Producer Gary Telfer said: “We’re really looking forward to coming to Peterborough on the tour with this fantastic Easter show.

“It’s got a great cast of TV stars and an amazing live band.”

The cast features a host of top quality professional performers including Dancing on Ice funny man Bobby Davro as Scarecrow, star of CBeebies’ Mighty-Mites & Tikkabilla Sarah-Jane Honeywell as Glinda, Ben Hanson (Bouncer from Tracy Beaker) as Tin Man and Steph Fearon (Over the Rainbow Semi-Finalist) as Dorothy.

Director Rob Forknall said: “It’s going to be great fun for all the family both young and old alike.

“Everyone remembers such great characters as the The Cowardly Lion and The Tin Man who needs a heart.

“This show will take the original story written by L. Frank Baum and give it a new twist as only New World Productions can!”

New World Productions are spending hundreds of thousands of pounds to ensure The Wizard of Oz tour will be a spectacular family production, bringing together a top cast, amazing costumes, fantastic dance routines and plenty of popular songs to please all ages.
