The beloved Toronto holiday tradition returns
Big news: the Ross Petty Panto is back! Canadian Stage has proudly stepped up to lead the next chapter of larger-than-life holiday pantomimes with an all-out irreverent twist on the timeless tale of The Wizard of Oz.
Audiences of all ages will join Dorothy and her friends on a hilarious romp through the fantastical landscapes of TorOZto. Along the way, they’ll see fantastical sets, spectacular costumes, and enjoy very silly parodies of hit songs by Beyonce, Billie Eilish and more! Get ready to cheer on Team Dorothy as Plumbum, the Cowardly Lion, Tin Man and Scarecrow help to defeat the Wicked Witch of the West End and find their way to the CN Power to discover the identity of the Wizard of TorOzto. (Hint: she loves a bike lane!)
Prepare to cheer on Dorothy and hiss at the schemes of the Wicked Witch in a production brimming with laughter, great music, and mischievous antics. We're not in Kansas anymore: the Panto marks Canadian Stage's first foray into the historic Winter Garden Theatre.
A mainstay of the Panto and the Stratford Festival, Dan Chameroy returns to play his beloved character Plumbum alongside another Panto favourite, Eddie Glen, as The Scarecrow, and multi-Dora winner Vanessa Sears as the Wicked Witch of the West. Julio Pulo steps into Dorothy’s Ruby Blundstones after her star turn as Anne Boleyn in the Toronto production of Six. Coal Mine Theatre co-founder and another long-time member of the Panto family, Ted Dysktra, directs, whiles the script comes from six-time Panto scribe Matt Murray.
Recommended for ages 3+. All persons entering the theatre, regardless of age, must have a ticket. The Panto is family fun for nearly everyone - Infants and toddlers under 2 years of age will not be admitted
