00:05Wizard of Oz! How you doing guys? Who've we got? What's your names?

00:08We're good, I'm Chris, I play the Wizard.

00:10Cool.

00:10I'm Georgina, I'm playing Dorothy.

00:12I'm Holly, I'm playing Tim.

00:14Cool.

00:15And I'm Sarah and I'm playing Scarecrow!

00:17Fantastic. So, Wendy, when's the production on then, Chris? When's it all happening?

00:21So, the show runs from the 13th of January, that's right at the end of January, running until the 2nd of Feb.

00:28For a run at the Hales Owen Town Hall.

00:30Cool. And Star Time Variety, it's well established, isn't it?

00:34Absolutely. Established in 1967 and made Hales Owen our home, entertaining hundreds of people over all of those years.

00:41Wicked. And Wizard of Oz, it's a family favourite, isn't it? So much going on.

00:45It is, and of course, bringing along Tim and Scarecrow and our very own Dorothy.

00:51It brings our whole team together.

00:54And great costumes, guys, I love that.

00:57Thank you. So, this is made by our lovely Olive from the show.

01:00Oh, yeah, yeah. And what about this face paint, how long does that take to get going?

01:05So, I got up this morning at 8 and we're here for 12, so I don't know what to tell you.

01:09Does it come off as quick as it goes on?

01:11Yet to come, I'd say.

01:13The time it takes.

01:14So, you're here today to give it a plug. You've just been doing a bit of a song for the audience as well, haven't you, in the shopping centre?

01:20Absolutely. A few little numbers from the show, including One Short Day.

01:24Cool.

01:25And of course, from the Wizard of Oz.

01:26Well, we wish you all the best, guys. You look the part, you sound the part, so get yourselves down.

01:31Star Time Variety, Wizard of Oz. Cheers, guys.

01:35That's not a real lion, surely not.

01:40Who's little one? What's little one called?

01:42This is Rowan.

01:44Rowan's kind of a standing foot today. The real lion will be a bit bigger on the stage.

01:48Oh, he will. They sent his little cub along today.

01:51How old's Rowan?

01:53He's four months old and he's been along to every single rehearsal so far.

01:56Has he?

01:57He's our honouring munchkin, aren't you?

01:59Fantastic. He will never, ever fear witches after he's mumbied in that costume, will he?

02:03Absolutely not.

02:06Although he may have to fear more daft costumes.

02:08Yeah, yeah. It's all part of the course, isn't it?

02:11Right.

02:12Star Time Theatre, next generation.
