SYNOPSIS:

Come on and Ease on Down the Road with Dorothy, Scarecrow, Tin Man, and Lion - with a 1970鈥檚 funkadelic twist.

A Broadway gem, The Wiz infuses L. Frank Baum鈥檚 "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz" with a dazzling mix of rock, gospel and soul music. This timeless tale of Dorothy鈥檚 adventures through the Land of Oz is a fun, family-friendly, modern musical.

鈥淩adiates so much energy you can hardly sit in your seat.鈥� 鈥� New York Post
