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.
Expect an exuberant, high-energy production filled with spectacular costumes, dynamic choreography, and powerhouse vocals that will have you dancing in your seat. The musical reimagines the familiar journey to Oz with funk-driven rhythms and contemporary urban sensibilities, creating an experience that's both nostalgic and refreshingly modern. It's perfect for families, musical theater enthusiasts, and anyone looking to experience a classic story told through a distinctive cultural perspective that radiates joy and community spirit.
This touring production brings The Wiz's magical energy to major performing arts centers across the country, from Austin's prestigious Bass Concert Hall to Washington DC's historic National Theatre. The tour showcases the musical's universal appeal while allowing audiences nationwide to experience its infectious celebration of resilience, friendship, and finding your way home.
