ABOUT THE SHOW

The Tony® Award-Winning Best Musical That Took the World by Storm is Back!

"THE WIZ" returns “home” to stages across America in an all-new tour, direct from Broadway. 

The Baltimore Sun raves “Powerhouse performances. Stunning choreography. Visionary sets”

The Chicago Sun-Times proclaims "THE WIZ" as “An eye-popping and high-intensity revival!” 

This groundbreaking twist on "The Wizard of Oz" changed the face of Broadway—from its iconic score packed with soul, gospel, rock, and 70s funk to its stirring tale of Dorothy’s journey to find her place in a contemporary world. 

Everybody rejoice - this dynamite infusion of ballet, jazz, and modern pop that is "THE WIZ" brings a whole new groove to easing on down the road!
