Kilkenny singer Ciaran O'Dwyer with The Late Late Show host, Ryan Tubridy
The Late Late Toy Show on RTÉ One tonight at 9:35pm will feature Music Generation Kilkenny's own Ciaran O'Dwyer in a starring role as The Lion in The Wizard of Oz themed show, hosted by Ryan Tubridy.
This rising young star is a student in Music Generation Kilkenny's after school music hub. The group said on social media: " We couldn't be more proud of him and best of luck Ciaran!"
The theme of this year’s Late Late Toy Show has been revealed as the wonderful Wizard of Oz, an enduring Christmas favourite for generations. Viewers can follow the yellow brick road tonight as The Late Late Toy Show presents The Wizard of Oz at 9.35pm on RTÉ One. The show will also be available to watch worldwide for free on RTÉ Player.
Ryan Tubridy said on www.rte.ie: “I can’t remember the last time I was this excited for the Toy Show given the previews I have had of it this week. It is the thing that is close to the hearts of everyone who will be watching. Every age group, every generation, people will know from every walk of life where exactly we are going when we see the set up on Friday night.
“I promised we will be going home. I promised we will be talking more about Christmas, I promised we will get back to basics and when people see that opening, people will know exactly what I am talking about. Now it is time to simply get the treats in, to get the crisps in and the spirit back in the house and prepare yourself for what I hope will be the greatest night of the year for boys and girls all over the country because each and every one of them whether they are in hospital, at home or whether they are at their friend’s house. Wherever they are, this is for them, they deserve it. I look forward to everyone’s company immensely.”
As always, there will be a few surprises so too. Not least of which is the starring role scooped by Kilkenny's finest, Ciaran O'Dwyer. We wish him every success!
