It’s good to be back – no it’s GREAT to be back. The Warren cannot wait to entertain you all again with their colourful and magical story of The Wizard of Oz – brought to life in their wonderful pantomime. Cheer for Dorothy and her three loyal companions – Scarecrow, Tinman and Lion – not forgetting the adorable Toto of course! Boo at the nasty Wicked Witch of the West as the beautiful Glinda tries to stop her stealing the infamous Ruby Slippers. And laugh at Salt & Pepper – the silly flying monkeys. There’s something for everyone in the Land of Oz – so hold on tight – there’s a tornado coming to whisk you there right now!
