THE WIZARD OF OZ to Open in West End Mar. 29, 2011

It's just been announced in the UK Sun newspaper that March 2011 will see the opening of Andrew Lloyd Webber's spectacular new production of The Wizard of Oz at the London Palladium (currently home to the London production of SISTER ACT). For the first time ever, tickets are now available for this lavish musical, exclusively to readers of The Sun and News of the World! Until Sunday 9th May the ONLY places to buy tickets to this surefire hit are through the Sun and the News of the World.

Following on the heels of his past mega-hits The Sound of Music, Joseph and the Technicolour Dreamcoat and Oliver!, The Wizard of Oz is set to take the West End by storm! The show opens on 29th March 2011 with ticket prices ranging from £35 to £62.50.

Currently running on BBC television and following the success of How Do You Solve A Problem Like Maria?, Any Dream Will Do and I'd Do Anything, Over The Rainbow reunites host Graham Norton and Andrew Lloyd Webber, who, along with a brand new panel of experts (Sheila Hancock, Charlotte Church and John Partridge) and BBC One viewers, will choose a Dorothy to perform in the West End production of The Wizard Of Oz next year.

Viewers have the opportunity to cast their votes and the outcome will be announced in the results show. The two contestants with the least amount of votes will perform a "sing-off" and Andrew Lloyd Webber will decide which contestant he wants to remain in the competition.
