Former X-Factor star Holly Tandy is taking on the lead role and in a special trailer by the show’s producers we see Holly in character (and cuddling a rather cute Toto the dog).

As the famous music from the production plays in the background, the voiceover begins “.... welcome to Kansas the home of Dorothy Gale, a young girl who dreams of escaping to a land somewhere over the rainbow … this Christmas follow Dorothy on an unforgettable adventure …”

A tornado whips around, Dorothy and Toto take shelter and the Tin Man reaches out a helping hand from the land of Oz.
