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.

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.

So here’s some exciting news for everybody: Sophie Evans will be Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz at the London Palladium next year ever Tuesday and during Danielle Hope’s holidays. This is not an understudy role, it’s a whole series of specified dates as an alternate Dorothy. Great news for Sophie, and it means she can continue her theatre studies at the same time, which is brilliant.

So now, if Sophie Evans was your favourite Dorothy in Over The Rainbow, you can now book tickets for the Wizard of Oz and be sure to see her in the dream role as long as you pick the right dates, or any Tuesday.
The announcement was made today when Andrew Lloyd Webber visited Cardiff and then presented Sophie to the media at the Wales Millennium Centre. For the presentation, Sophie again sang ‘Over the Rainbow’ from The Wizard of Oz, accompanied by Andrew on keyboard.
Sophie Evans, runner up to Danielle Hope in the BBC series Over the Rainbow, will play Dorothy every Tuesday evening, and throughout the weeks of 2nd May, 5th September and 12th September, when Danielle is away.
Lloyd Webber said
I am thrilled that Sophie will be joining Danielle and the cast to play her dream role of Dorothy. She is a huge talent and I am very excited to see what she will bring to the role.
It was also explained that Andrew is helping Sophie to continue her training, funding her on a year-long musical theatre training course starting in September at the Arts Educational School.
The new production of The Wizard of Oz begins previews at The London Palladium from 7th February 2011, with Sophie Evans starting on Tuesday 8th March.
