The Wiz
Come on and Ease on Down the Road with Dorothy, Scarecrow, Tin Man, and Lion - with a funkadelic twist! A beloved Broadway gem, The Wiz infuses L. Frank Baum’s The Wonderful Wizard of Oz with a dazzling mix of rock, gospel, and soul music, bringing an electrifying energy to the classic story.
Bursting with infectious rhythms, high-energy choreography, and larger-than-life characters, The Wiz reimagines Dorothy’s journey through the Land of Oz in a fresh, soulful, and unforgettable way. With its vibrant score and uplifting message of self-discovery, courage, and homecoming, this Tony Award-winning musical has captivated audiences for decades.
Whether you’re a longtime fan or discovering the magic for the first time, The Wiz is more than just a retelling—it’s a cultural phenomenon!
