My family has been looking forward to the world premiere of Lythgoe Family Panto’s THE WONDERFUL WINTER OF OZ,  which is being produced in association with the Pasadena Civic Auditorium for 17 performances only, December 15 -30, 2018.  THE WONDERFUL WINTER OF OZ is a Holiday version of America’s favorite modern fairy tale, in the style of a traditional British Family Panto. On Christmas Eve, Dorothy gets swept away by a ‘freak’ Kansas blizzard and lands in a world of munchkins and witches. With songs from Imagine Dragons to Earth, Wind and Fire, THE WONDERFUL WINTER OF OZ is the perfect family experience at the Holiday time. 

THE WONDERFUL WINTER OF OZ stars singer, actress and dancer Mackenzie Ziegler (Dancing with the Stars: Juniors, Dance Moms) as Dorothy, Tony Award winner Marissa Jaret Winokur (Celebrity Big Brother Winner and Broadway’s Hairspray) as Glinda, and features Kermit The Frog® as the Wizard of Oz, Jared Gertner (Broadway’s The Book of Mormon) as The Scarecrow, Phil LaMarr (“Mad TV” and “Pulp Fiction”) as The Tin Man, Yvette Gonzalez-Nacer (Nickelodeon’s The Fresh Beat Band, “Cha Cha” on FOX’s Grease: Live!, National Tour of In the Heights) as The Wicked Witch of the West, Hailee Payne and Valerie Rockey of So You Think You Can Dance, and Rescue Dog Pickle C. Irwin as Toto.

THE WONDERFUL WINTER OF OZ is a Holiday version of America’s favorite modern fairy tale, in the style of a traditional British Family Panto. On Christmas Eve, Dorothy gets swept away by a ‘freak’ Kansas blizzard and lands in a world of munchkins and witches. With songs from Imagine Dragons to Earth, Wind and Fire, THE WONDERFUL WINTER OF OZ is the perfect family experience at the Holiday time. No rainbows will be hurt in this production.

The production will be directed by Bonnie Lythgoe and choreographed by Napoleon and Tabitha D’umo (NappyTabs), with book by Kris Lythgoe and musical direction and arrangements by Michael Orland (American Idol). Casting is by executive producer Becky Lythgoe.  Additional casting will be announced at a later date.

This is one play you do not want to miss.  Last year last my family enjoyed Beauty and The Beast – A Christmas Rose and had an awesome time.  Seeing a Lythogoe show is on the top of our list during the holiday season.

There will also be a special student matinee on December 14, 2018, servicing over 2,000 Title One school children who will be introduced to the magic of live theatre for the very first time.

Tickets start at $40 and Family Four Packs for just $99 can be purchased at the Pasadena Civic Auditorium, online at www.thepasadenacivic.com or by calling 626-449-7362. Golden Tickets, which allow the ticket holder (children ages 4 – 12 only) a special on-stage experience during the production, are available for an additional $75.00 each.  This will be the seventh holiday season of Lythgoe Family Panto in Pasadena, and the second at the Pasadena Civic.

You may also purchase a Golden Ticket (Premium, children ages 4 – 12 only) — special on-stage experience during the production – additional $75 per child.  Last year I really enjoyed watching the children go on stage.  As a member of the audience, I felt special for the children.  Some of the children were very entertaining.  Somewhere even shy.   This was definitely a special part of the show.

There is also a Winter Wonderland.  Audience members can enjoy this FREE pre-show celebration featuring crafts,games, Santa Claus (on select days), photo opportunities, and more! This starts one hour prior to curtain time.

Since I want you to see THE WONDERFUL WINTER OF OZ ,  here is chance to win a family four pack to see the show on opening night!  Good Luck!
