Sapphire said: “I’m thrilled to be playing Dorothy in The Wizard Of Oz. I’ve always wanted to play this part so I’m very excited about bringing the magic and wonder of our show to everyone.”

Audiences will journey with Dorothy and her dog Toto down the Yellow Brick Road to the Merry Old Land of Oz as they meet the Scarecrow, Tin Man and the Cowardly Lion and begin a quest to meet the great and powerful Wizard of Oz.

But the Wicked Witch of the West is determined to stop them by any means necessary.

Children’s TV favourite Barney Harwood will bring an extra dose of fun to town as the Scarecrow.

He said: “I can’t wait to bring this beautiful story to the stage, causing plenty of mayhem along the way. And there will also be opportunities to meet myself and the whole cast after the show.”

The Wizard of Oz fuses beautiful scenery, colourful costumes, a live band, dazzling dance routines, great songs and plenty of laughter.
