CLICK your heels, close your eyes and block out the winter blues by going to see Todmorden Hippodrome Youth Theatre's production of The Wizard of Oz.

The theatre's Christmas show tells the much-loved story of little Dorothy Gale, from Kansas, who dreams what lies over the rainbow.

One day a twister hits her farm and carries her away over the rainbow to another world.

Come and join Dorothy, Scarecrow, Tin Man, Cowardly Lion and Toto as they set off on their adventures through the wonderful land of Oz.

The Hippodrome Youth Theatre is a not-for-profit organisation set up to give local people the chance to get involved in all aspects of the theatre.

All tickets on opening night are £6, and £8 at all other times.

The Wizard of Oz, Todmorden Hippodrome, nightly from Wednesday, December 6 until Saturday, December 9 from 7pm. Call 0870 770 5681 or buy tickets at Todmorden Tourist Information Centre.
