Following the success of their arena spectacular Peter Pan, starring Boy George, and the ongoing success of Elf – The Arena Spectacular, World’s Biggest Productions are set to present a brand-new, breathtaking, cirque staging of Wicked Wizard of Oz in 2025.
A 40-strong cast of circus performers, comedy favourites, dancers, singers and actor/musicians, led by audience favourites Jordan Conway and Kelly Banlaki, who return as The Scarecrow and Dorothy, who are joined by popular panto funnyman, Kev Orkian, as The Wizard.
Meet Dorothy as she makes new friends along the Yellow Brick Road, including a hilarious Scarecrow, a Cowardly Lion who is afraid to walk the high wire and a giant, 10ft Tin Man transformer. Together, they set off along the Yellow Brick Road in search for the Wicked Wizard of Oz, who runs the Emerald Circus. Only he can lead them through the enchanted forest to battle the broomstick-flying, green-faced witch and her flying monkeys.
The principal cast is completed by Nathan Paul as the Tin Man, Gina Morales as the Lion, Sam Fogell as Uncle Frank and Ebony Fear as the Witch.
Producer Jon Conway says, “I’ve produced shows from Broadway to Beijing but I don’t remember ever being more excited about mixing my circus roots from when I was born on Billy Smart’s Circus with my lifelong dedication to pantomime and musical theatre in one spectacular.”
Expect spectacular aerial stunts and amazing special effects in this ‘International Class Arena Show’ that, like World’s Biggest Productions’ amazing Peter Pan, promises to be another spectacular panto meets cirque extravaganza.
