Waddingham Casts Spells at Palladium After Open Air???
Date: 28 July 2010
We hear whispers that Whatsonstage.com award-winner
Hannah Waddingham, who's about to play the Witch in the Open Air Theatre's revival of Stephen Sondheim's
Into the Woods, will be keeping the pointy hat to play the Wicked Witch of the West in
Andrew Lloyd Webber's new production of
The Wizard of Oz. If confirmed, she'll join a line-up that's led by
Over the Rainbow winner
Danielle Hope as Dorothy (with runner-up
Sophie Evans playing on Tuesdays). The production, which features new songs written by Lloyd Webber and long-term collaborator
Tim Rice, opens on 1 March 2011 (previews from 7 February) at the London Palladium.
