CAN’T YOU FEEL A BRAND NEW DAY?
Heart and soul are colorblind, and The Wiz dances to a universal beat. With a soulful, freshly orchestrated score by Charlie Smalls and an updated script by William F. Brown, The Wiz remixes L. Frank Baum’s The Wonderful Wizard of Oz for our generation. A contemporary spin on a timeless classic, this Wiz aims to bring this story’s universal themes to life as a fast, loud, pop-culture infused, and multicultural collage.
EVERYBODY REJOICE!
