About

It is with sadness that we announce that this year's Christmas pantomime, The Wizard of Oz will not be going ahead.

The pantomime is produced each year by an independent production company, JW Productions. Due to the unstable economic environment it has not been possible for the company to make the production happen this year.

The company have issued this statement:

‘We are deeply sorry to announce that the performances of Wizard of Oz scheduled for Christmas will not be taking place; with our best intentions we have not been able to bring this project to life. We know how disappointing this news is. Please accept our apologies and know we have not taken this decision lightly’.

All tickets purchased for the performance will be refunded in full - there is no need to request a refund, this will be processed automatically by the box office team at Attenborough Centre for the Creative Arts and will be credited to your account within ten working days.

We do understand that this is very disappointing news for audiences who were looking forward to seeing the show, local children who were due to be involved in the pantomime and for the show's creative team.

There will not be a Christmas show at Attenborough Centre for the Creative Arts this year, and we will consider what our future plans in the Christmas period might be.

Wishing you all the best for the festive season.
