Search for Toto

Pup Idol comes to Saffron Hall on Saturday 30 October as the award-winning venue and KD Theatre Productions hold auditions for the perfect pooch to play Toto in the family-friendly pantomime The Wizard of Oz from Thursday 23 December – Wednesday 29 December 2021.

The call is for all dogs, big or small, young or old, hairy or bald. If your canine companion has the style and personality of a star performer then this could be their chance to bow-wow audiences this Christmas.

Toto will join Dorothy (played by Lucy Bell) as she embarks on an exciting adventure, over the rainbow, where along the way she makes new friends with the Scarecrow (Jack Ballard) who longs for a brain, the Tin Man (Joey Warne) who really wants a heart and the very cowardly Lion (James Stirling) who is desperate to be brave and find some courage. Dorothy needs to find her way home, but it’s not going to be easy with the Wicked Witch of the West (Laura Hyde) watching her every move! Will the beautiful Gilda the Good (Hope Thompson) or the Great and Powerful Wizard of Oz be able to help Dorothy and her newfound friends?

This family favourite tale is directed by Daniel Bell and choreographed by Katherine Hickmott. Mark Aldous takes on the role of Musical Director while Gregory Jordan is the production’s Lighting Designer.
