The Wizard of Oz Wednesday performance at CN Centre has been canceled.
The show was to come to town on Dec. 12 and was postponed because of bad weather, then was rescheduled for tonight and now has been completely canceled because packing the show in Red Deer and coming here overnight was simply not practical.
"I apologize deeply to the Prince George audience for this unwelcome turn of events," said promoter Henry Kolenko. "I thought we had another opportunity to bring this magical production to Prince George. But unfortunately the Wizard of Oz production is proving to be just too problematic to changeover hastily in arenas. I want to thank everyone in Prince George who tried to bring this show to town. In particular, I want to thank Judy Russell and her students who rehearsed so hard to perform as Munchkins. Their efforts are really, really appreciated."
Wizard of Oz tickets are refundable at points of sale. Due to Christmas holidays, refunds will be available at Ticketmaster points of sale starting at 10:00 am, January 4, 2011. Ticket-buyers need to return to where they purchased their tickets to obtain refunds.
