The Wiz
June 17-19
Fisher Theatre
THE WIZ returns βhomeβ to stages across America in an all-new Broadway tour, the first one in 40 years. This groundbreaking twist on The Wizard of Oz changed the face of Broadway β from its iconic score packed with soul, gospel, rock, and 70s funk to its stirring tale of Dorothyβs journey to find her place in a contemporary world.
With direction by Schele Williams (The Notebook, revival of Disneyβs Aida), choreography by JaQuel Knight (BeyoncΓ©βs βSingle Ladies,β Black Is King) and additional material by Tony-nominated and Emmy-nominated writer and TV host Amber Ruffin (The Amber Ruffin Show, Late Night with Seth Meyers), this dynamite infusion of ballet, jazz, and modern pop brings a whole new groove to easing on down the road.
