IT may be 80 years since the Wizard of Oz first captured hearts, but the world’s love for the classic shows no sign of fading.
Now, a new production at Ickenham promise to bring the wonder of Oz to a whole new generation.
Compass Theatre presents an innovative take on the Hollywood classic with a celebrated cast.
Jemma Carlisle stars as heroine Dorothy, who finds herself whisked somewhere over the rainbow to the magical Munchkin Land by a Kansas cyclone.

Can she set up a meeting with the Wizard himself? And can she escape the evil clutches of the Wicked Witch of the West, played by resident Compass panto dame Niall Hemingway?
Joining Dorothy on her trip to Oz are Victoria Collins as the brainless Scarecrow, Thomas Kemp as the Cowardly Lion and Chris Sheridan, the Compass panto’s Silly Billy, as the heartless Tin Man.
There are nine performances from April 10-14. Book tickets online at www.hillingdontheatres.uk
