Cast
From Dorothy’s heartfelt portrayal to the dynamic characters of the Scarecrow, Tin Man, and Cowardly Lion, each member of the cast shines brightly in their respective roles. Dorothy is played by the seriously talented Aviva Tulley and her voice must be up there with the best. The Scarecrow, Tin Man and Cowardly Lion are all so endearing and you really find yourself getting behind them on their journey. And of course we have to mention Craig Revel Horwood, of Strictly Come Dancing fame, in the role of The Wicked Witch of the West. He 100% nails it.
