Sophie Evans in The Wizard of Oz Tonight
4438 days
Sophie Evans from Over The Rainbow begins performing in The Wizard of Oz as Dorothy every Tuesday evening starting from tonight, Tuesday 8th March 2011. Sophie will also cover for Danielle Hope’s holidays.
You may not recognise Sophie Evens at first tonight though, because she has to hide her vibrant red hair under a wig. Sophie revealed that her hair will be dark and in pigtails for the Wizard of Oz at the London Palladium, just like Judy Garland’s were in the 1939 film.
Sophie Evans said
They like the Dorothy look to be a certain way. And it does look lovely. I think a lot of people will have to take a second look because I look so different. They are all used to seeing me with red hair.
80 family and friends of Sophie Evans from Tonypandy in Wales will be attending the show in London tonight, including students from the Arts Educational in London where her fees were paid for by Lord Lloyd-Webber after coming a close runner up in the TV casting show Over The Rainbow.

Only Men Aloud
Demand for the 7.30pm evening show was so high that a matinee performance at 3.30pm has been added.
Some seats for the matinee should stil be available at £25, £20 and £15.
The Cardiff International Arena or the C.I.A Arena (commonly referred to as just The CIA) is an indoor exhibition centre and events arena, opened on the 10 September 1993 by Shirley Bassey. It’s Cardiff’s largest purpose-built arena and Sophie Evans could well be performing in front of 5,000 fans live on the day!
Move over, Bonnie Tyler!
Meanwhile rehearsals are beginning for The Wizard of Oz.
Sophie will play Dorothy every Tuesday evening from 8th March, and throughout the weeks of 2nd May, 5th September and 12th September when Danielle Hope is away.
