Corbyn to play 'Wizard of Oz-lington' in pantomime
The Independent
|October 29, 2025
Jeremy Corbyn will appear in a north London pantomime in his constituency this Christmas, playing the "Wizard of Oz-lington" in a Wicked-inspired performance.
Wicked Witches: A Popular Panto, which will play at the Pleasance Theatre near Caledonian Road, will be "fun, inclusive and a brilliant celebration of creativity", the Islington North MP said. Meanwhile, the theatre said Mr Corbyn's cameo will add a "touch of local sparkle".
He will be joined by drag artist Gigi Zahir, who will play the wicked witch Adelphaba. Eleanor Burke will play the good witch Kelly Oz-Born, Lew Ray will play Tin 2.0, and Ro Supp will play Dorothy.
