Where are they now?
Lesley:
Much
to her dismay, Dorothy had her application for affordable housing turned down.
She now lives with the Cowardly Lion and their little dog, who is not called
Toto.
Chris:
The
Scarecrow has become a much happier person after realising that, although straw
is not very good for making a brain, barley is excellent for making beer.
Mark:
The
Tin Woodman’s brief liaison with Mrs Miggins did not last long. She felt his
chopper might tarnish her reputation, whilst he feared her pies might tarnish
his bodywork.
Nick:
The
Cowardly lion is now fear-less, and a great deal thinner since removing the fat
suit. He spends his time, leaping out at people from behind bushes, and scaring
them witless.
Harry:
Toto
was sent to live on a lovely farm in the countryside. He is very, very happy
there, but unfortunately it is too far for us to go and visit him.
Andy:
With
the Wizard gone and the city gates destroyed, the people of Oz had no use for
Private Parts and career-wise, he was left dangling.
Mike and Victoria:
Big
ears, the horse has been given a nice blanket and put out to graze for another
year. He dreams of the day he will be allowed to ride a tandem on stage.
Becker:
The
Stig has promised not to write a book about his experiences this year and as a
result is now busy filming a new season of, “Top Gear”.
Dick:
Sadly,
Prince Charming attempted to re-create Marvo the Magician’s disappearing act,
once too often and, according to Dick, will never, ever, be seen again.
Sylvia:
Cilla
has returned to Liverpool to find a dentist who will be able to fix her teeth
in place once and for all. She was last seen buying a lorra, lorra, fix-a-dent.
Peter:
Gok
Wan has started to create his own, Mrs Miggins inspired, recipes and make-up. The
crispy-fried Hedgehog shows promise, but the marrow based mascara is proving difficult.
Verity:
Little
Red Riding Hood was last seen entering Owston Wood with a basket load of
goodies. The RSPCA have reported a sudden rise in the number of Wolves seeking
sanctuary.
Cindy:
After
the demise of her evil ruler, The Winkey applied for a position with Easy Jet.
Sadly, her being a Monkey meant that she was over-qualified to work for them.
Pat:
After
his humiliating defeat by the Cowardly lion, Knuckles McSweeney has retired
from professional wrestling. He now runs a small manicurist’s stall on Melton
market.
Kit, Gabriel, Tegan,
Nayana, Emily, Edward, Sophie, Lily, Annie and Carrie:
The
Munchkins were released back into the wild. The wild was not, overly happy
about this. Munchkin wranglers will ensure that they are rounded up again for
next year’s panto.
Tess:
Tess still hopes to have the Cowardly
lion, stuffed and mounted, over the mantelpiece, in the drawing room, but for
now she is making do with a stiff brandy.
Cathy:
As
far as we know, Cathy is still in the memorial hall, sleeping off a hangover.
Do try not to disturb her if you go in there.
Sue R:
Sue
now runs the, “Sexy Lady”, dancing school. She is still not exactly sure what,
“Gangnam”, style is, but she’s giving it a jolly good try.
Caroline:
Caroline
has devoted her life to tracking down and destroying every shred of evidence
that might link her to the Horsey Ladies. Once this is done, she intends to
enter a convent.
Helen:
Helen
is at home, where she should be, recovering nicely. If you see her trying to do
stuff, scold her severely, and then offer to make her a nice cup of tea.
Max:
Usually
drunk on home-made Marrow Rum, Mrs Miggins can be seen most days, scouring the
highways and byways of the parish, in search of fresh, and not so fresh, road-kill
for her pies.
Sophie:
Sophie
has nothing to do now that the panto season has finished. She desperately hopes
that people will give her lots of jobs to do, and children to look after, to
relieve the boredom.
Sue:
Sue
still runs a small B & B in the multi-coloured city of Somerby, but she has
a definite, No Lions, No Tigers, and No Bears policy. Oh My!
Annie:
Annie
emerged from a heap of the Horsey Ladies empty Gin bottles, vowing never again
to play for them. She was given a stiff talking-to. Annie wishes she’d never
met them.
Colin:
For
sale: One-man-band outfit, harmonica included. Slightly used, sounds awful.
Lynne:
The
Wicked Witch of the West is dead. The funeral was attended by a single, small
dog, who cocked his leg on the headstone, shortly before leaving.
Roz:
Having
discovered that the Horsey Ladies drank all of her paint thinners, Roz has
postponed moving into the village until she can find new brushes.
Henrietta.
She’s
mad! The poor delusional woman is already planning next year’s performance,
oblivious to the fact that her entire cast, simply cannot act, or sing, or take
any kind of direction.
Matt.
Last
seen driving out of the village very quickly, muttering something about wanting
to get back to civilization. He’ll be back, definitely, maybe.
