Dorothy, I don't think we're in Thousand Oaks anymore! 

Lythgoe Family Productions once again ushers in the holiday season with a British Panto-style production, this year presenting an off-the-wall spin on The Wizard of Oz.

Making their panto debuts are Aubrey Anderson-Emmons (Modern Family) as Dorothy, and Tamyra Gray (American Idol) as Glinda. Panto veteran John O’Hurley (Seinfeld) returns as The Wizard.

The uniquely British art form of Christmas panto offers an entertaining mix of family-friendly magic, comedic twists, and contemporary music and dance. The audience is encouraged to join in the fun, cheering on the heroes and booing the villains.

A limited number of Golden Tickets are available as an add-on to any child’s ticket for an additional $65 each, limited to 10 Golden Tickets per performance. A Golden Ticket allows the ticket holder (children only) a special on-stage sing-a-long experience during the production, as well as additional gifts.

Not close to Thousand Oaks? A Lythgoe panto production of A Snow White Christmas plays this season at the Laguna Playhouse.
