The Wizard of Oz: A Wicked Pantomime Adventure

Newcastle People's Theatre, 

Saturday 13 – Sunday 21 December 2025

There's no place like the People's Theatre this Christmas for a magical pantomime journey to the Land of Oz! With excitement building around all things Oz-related, the People's Theatre in Heaton presents their delightfully wicked take on The Wizard Of Oz.

Dorothy dreams of a life beyond her little farm in Heaton, but when a terrible tornado sweeps her and her faithful dog Toto away to the magical land of Oz, she finds herself on an extraordinary adventure. Guided by Glinda The Good, Dorothy must seek out The Wizard—but the Wicked Witch of the West is hot on her ruby heels!

Joined by an unlikely trio of companions—a Scarecrow seeking brains, a Tin Man longing for a heart, and a Cowardly Lion in need of courage—Dorothy embarks on a quest that will test them all. Will they save Oz and help Dorothy find her way home?

This fun-filled family pantomime promises an unforgettable adventure down the yellow brick road, packed with toe-tapping tunes, silly jokes, and heartwarming moments that will delight audiences of all ages.

With afternoon and evening performances throughout the run, plus a Relaxed Performance on Tuesday 16th December, there's plenty of opportunity to experience this wonderful festive treat.
