Program: The Wiz (musical) by Charlie Smalls.
The Wiz breathes vibrant new life into the beloved Wizard of Oz story through the lens of African American culture and music. This Tony Award-winning musical first enchanted Broadway audiences in 1975, featuring a soul, R&B, and gospel-infused score that transformed L. Frank Baum's classic tale into a celebration of Black artistry and storytelling. With memorable songs like "Ease On Down the Road" and "Home," The Wiz became a groundbreaking work that paved the way for greater diversity in musical theater.
