The Traitors Ireland star Paudie Moloney has swapped murdering to magic, landing a starring role in this year’s 3Olympia Theatre Christmas panto.
The Limerick native, who made a name for himself as one of the most memorable Traitors on season one of the hit reality series, has been announced as The Wizard of Oz in Olly Goes to Oz, a hilarious mash up of Wicked and The Wizard of Oz.
Audiences won’t see Paudie plotting in a castle this time, but instead on the stage in the iconic role of the Wizard. The show promises plenty of chaos, laughs, and magic as Dorothy gets blown in from Finglas with her dog Toto in tow.
