It’s currently in the midst of a UK and Ireland tour, with dates planned in Bristol, Nottingham, Glasgow, Manchester and Dublin ahead of its return to London.

The producers have also confirmed that the West End run will star The Vivienne as The Wicked Witch of the West and Aston Merrygold as the Tin Man.

Producer Michael Harrison said: “The Wizard of Oz was seen by an incredible 185,000 people at the Palladium last summer and is currently smashing box office records on its UK tour, so it feels absolutely appropriate that we return this spectacular production to the West End.”

The show will feature the iconic original score from the Oscar-winning MGM film, including “Over The Rainbow”, “Follow The Yellow Brick Road” and “We’re Off To See the Wizard”.

Plus it will also have additional songs from Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice and is produced by Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat’s Michael Harrsion.

While the story, of course, will follow Dorothy, Toto and friends “on an unforgettable adventure down the yellow brick road to the merry old land of Oz”.
