A 43-strong Parel Vallei High cast will take audiences on a magical adventure. Farm girl Dorothy reaches colourful Oz after she and pet dog Toto are swept away from their home by a cyclone. To return, she must journey there to seek the Wizard’s help. She meets Scarecrow without a brain, Tin Man with no heart and Cowardly Lion in need of courage.


In 2019, Fiddler on the Roof, the famous musical performed by Parel Vallei High School, secured 10 sold-out shows and this year it is back with a bang!

This time, local audiences are invited to step into a world of magic and wonder, as the school brings the timeless classic, The Wizard of Oz, to life in an extraordinary musical spectacle.

Opening night takes place at the Playhouse Theatre in Somerset West on Wednesday 19 July and forthcoming shows will be staged at 15:30 on Saturday 22, Sunday 23, Thursday 27 and Friday 28 July; and at 19:30 Thursday 20, Friday 21, Saturday 22, Thursday 27 and Friday 28 July.

Prepare to be swept away by enchanting melodies, mesmerising dance numbers and breathtaking stage production as two learners, Casey Holmes and Kaitlin van der Bijl, will be interchanging the roles of Dorothy and Miss Gulch or better known as the Wicked Witch.

Make sure not to miss the live four-pawed stars named Cobalt and Daisy.
