Starring alongside Steven is Britain’s Got Talent finalist Steven Hall, who will be playing everyone’s favourite scaredy-cat the Cowardly Lion.

Steven’s special dancing

skills were first introduced on Britain’s Got Talent back in April 2011.

He then proceeded to dance his way through to the live semi-finals, and ultimately the final.

Since then he has appeared on the Britain’s Got Talent arena tour and his act has now also taken him as far as Germany and America to perform.

Completing the cast are Blackpool cabaret star Victoria Roberts, who plays the terrifying Wicked Witch of the West, loveable Gary Amos as Tin Man, Mervyn Francis plays the mysterious role of The Wizard of Oz, vocalist Bessie McMillan is Dorothy Gale, and Lauren Wootton will play Glinda The Good Fairy.
