Rene Blissett has landed the role of Dorothy and admits she cannot wait to take to the stage.

“I am extremely grateful,” she said. “Dorothy is a character I’ve always adored and loved the idea of playing.

“My mum is as excited as me too as The Wizard of Oz was her favourite movie growing up so I want to do her proud. Getting to portray such an iconic character on stage with such a fantastic company is an amazing honour.”
