Le Gateau Chocolat Will Appear in Creation Theatre’s The Wonderful Wizard of Oz

Le Gateau Chocolat Creation Theatres The Wonderful Wizard of Oz

Iconic performer Le Gateau Chocolat makes a special cameo appearance as the Good Witch in Creation Theatre’s annual festive family show, which opens on the digital stage this December.

Le Gateau Chocolat, whose award-winning work spans drag, cabaret, opera, musical theatre, children’s theatre and live art, and has performed in prestigious venues across the world, makes a special screen appearance in this magical version of  L. Frank Baum’s The Wonderful Wizard of Oz , adapted and directed by Gari Jones.

Speaking of the exciting collaboration, which was pre-recorded during the second lockdown this month, Le Gateau Chocolat says: “It was a real joy working on this production with Creation Theatre. With my family show Duckie, programmed at Home in Manchester, a city in tier 3, now in jeopardy, the special alchemy of working with live actors, a director, sound engineers, video technicians, the designer, remotely, from our different parts of the country was humbling and that little bit more poignant. Like many, our industry has been absolutely decimated by Covid but here stands a virtual arts community, ingeniously forging ahead over Zoom!”

Audiences across the globe will be invited to escape reality and journey together to the magical Emerald land; where, along with the Scarecrow, Lion, Tin Man and many more dreamlike characters, they will work together to get Dorothy back home. 28 shows will be performed LIVE online in ‘real time’, across two weeks from the 19 December 2020 to 3 January 2021.

Creation Theatre are leading digital theatre-makers and Oxford’s largest producing theatre company. Their Christmas shows are an annual fixture, usually staged at the North Wall Arts Centre, but this year Creation Theatre takes the anarchic spirit and style of their traditional family show online, reuniting the team behind many of its Christmas hits including The Snow Queen, Peter Pan and A Christmas Carol.

The organisation has been recognised for its digital work and earlier this month was awarded significant funding by public body Innovate UK to develop further its ground-breaking digital stage practices.

The Wondeful Wizard of Oz runs 19th December 2020 to 3rd January 2021.  Tickets are on sale here.
