Coming Soon

The Wizard of Oz

Another Andrew Lloyd Webber production, The Wizard of Oz is to be cast on his fourth TV talent search. Lloyd Webber has reportedly won the rights to add new songs to the score of the iconic 1939 film in order to make it a complete stage musical. On TV, the idea is to cast a Dorothy and possibly a Toto, and Liza Minnelli has apparently been asked to join the judging panel. It is rumoured that the role of the Wicked Witch of the West has been offered to Elaine Paige. It is assumed that The Wizard of Oz will be in the West End by the Autumn of 2010.
