Worthing's Charlotte Melissa Tyler joins Brighton panto
Director James Weisz said: “The Wizard of Oz is a classic tale made famous by the MGM movie starring Judy Garland.
“The panto features all the recognisable characters of the original. Dorothy gets transported to the wonderful world of Oz where she learns that the only way to get back home is to visit the great and powerful Wizard. On her journey to the Emerald City, she meets a Scarecrow who is in need of a brain, a Tin Man who is in need of a heart and a Lion who definitely needs some courage.”
