The Wizard of Oz

Wednesday 23 July 2008 - Sunday 31 August 2008

This summer there is no place like Royal Festival Hall as it transforms into the mystical Emerald City. With a click of your heels and a sprinkle of Southbank Centre magic you'll be swept away on a bewitching adventure to the Land of Oz. Follow Dorothy and her friends Toto, the Tin Man, the Scarecrow and the Cowardly Lion on their quest to find their heart's desire and a way back home.

This new stage version of the unforgettable film is directed by acclaimed Artistic Director Jude Kelly, and features the classic songs 'Somewhere Over the Rainbow', 'Follow The Yellow Brick Road' and 'We're Off To See The Wizard'. A rare opportunity to experience this spell-binding musical live on stage, this is a must-see summer event.
