MORE than 40 children captivated audiences with their unique interpretation of The Wizard of Oz.

This was presented by dance and drama academy - Crazy Catz.

The show was performed in the 'Crazy Catz style' under the direction of Cat McArdle, group leader.

Both performances were sold-out. 

Cat said: "Social media has been buzzing with pictures and enthusiastic reviews.

"The demand for tickets was so high that there was a rush for Sunday tickets from those who had attended on Saturday night and wanted to return.

"There were lots of big smiles, laughter, dancing, colourful costumes, and hilarious jokes. The overall Crazy Cat Spirit permeated the performance.

"This rendition of the classic story included unexpected plot twists, quirky props, chase scenes, while remaining faithful to the well-loved traditional tale.

"It was a joyful celebration and a resounding success for everyone involved."

The Llanfairfechan Community Hall served as the venue for the show.

Cat added: "Audiences commented that it felt like they were attending a performance at Venue Cymru."

The group had faced difficulties during the pandemic and was on the brink of closure.

Cat said: "Thanks to the kindness of the community in 2022, local businesses began sponsoring the group, leading to the creation of 'The Crazy Catz Community Wall' which has enabled us to stage our shows."
