Showcase Cinema in Bluewater to show Wizard of Oz for 80th anniversary

Follow the yellow brick road to Bluewater's cinema this Easter for a special screening of The Wizard of Oz.

The classic movie, which stars Judy Garland, is celebrating its 80th anniversary this year.

To mark the landmark of the story of Dorothy, swept from her monochrome world in Kansas into the magical, colourful land of Oz, Bluewater's Showcase Cinema will be staging a special screening.

Click your heels and reunite with the loveable characters - the Tin Man, Scarecrow and the cowardly Lion - as they go in search of home, brains, a heart and a whole lot of courage.

James Dobbin from Showcase Cinemas said: “The Wizard of Oz is a family favourite in many households and we’re delighted to be screening it as it celebrates its 80th anniversary.”

The Wizard of Oz will be shown at Bluewater's Cinema de Lux on Sunday, April 21 at 2pm and Tuesday, April 23 at 7pm.

The film forms part of Showcase Cinema Flashback series with films being shown at all sites.

Tickets for The Wizard of Oz can be booked here.
