THEWIZARDOFOZ
The choice for the renowned Killorglin Panto Group’s 56th annual pantomime is the much loved ‘The Wizard of Oz’. Since 1958 the Panto in the CYMS has been one of the highlights of the Winter Season. In recent years the reputation of the Killorglin Panto has become nation wide as the Group have performed in Dublin, Cork, Tralee ,Killarney and other Kerry towns, and several of its productions have been covered by RTE,TG4 and TV3,Virgin..
Script writer and Dame, Declan Mangan has adapted the script they last used in 1989 and features all the traditional characters from the Wizard, with Miltown teacher, Bronagh Murphy playing the lead role of Dorothy. Declan is Dame Tin Lizzie and the comics are Kevin Moriarty and Colm Clifford with the confusing names , Here and There.
The Musical Director for the last 5 years, Martin Hurley has a chorus of over 30 singing some well known Oz favourites and some modern showstoppers which are sure to impress. Jackie O Mahony,(Martin’s wife) has made a name for herself as a superb choreographer and has staged some very successful Strictly come Dancing shows all over the County.This year Jackie is also directing the show and her creative stage imagination should add to the Killorglin Panto reputation.Oh yes it will!!
