 For ten dates only, you can adventure to Oz this September... Thanks to the Peach Theatre Company, Dorothy, The Scarecrow, The Tin Man and The Cowardly Lion will be "off to see the Wizard" nightly from September 10th to September 18th, at The Civic. "Stepping into the ruby slippers and the role of Dorothy is future darling of theatre Olivia Tennet. The 20 year old has a wealth of theatrical credits to her name – an extensive history in performing in Shakespearean productions (including Peach Theatre Company’s production of Othello), younger audiences will no doubt recognize her from appearances in Shortland Street and The Almighty Johnsons. Olivia shares the stage with no less than four distinguished veterans of New Zealand theatre; Raymond Hawthorne plays the great and powerful Wizard of Oz, the beloved Cowardly Lion is played by the equally beloved George Henare, OBE. The Wicked Witch of the West played by the wickedly talented Helen Medlyn and Tina Cross, ONZM plays one of two all-singing, all-dancing glamorous chorus queens." 'THE WIZARD OF OZ'... Saturday 10th – Sunday 18th September. The Civic, THE EDGE, 269 Queen Street, Auckland. Times: 6:30pm Tuesday – Wednesday, 7:30pm Thursday – Sunday (except Sunday 11th of September).
