The Wiz Information
The Wiz first hit the stage in 1975 and quickly became a groundbreaking Broadway show. It was a new take on The Wizard of Oz but with an all-Black cast and a mix of soul, R&B, gospel, and funk music, bringing a fresh style and sound to the classic story. The show introduces songs like "Ease on Down the Road" and "Home," which became instant favorites. It first ran at Baltimore's Morris A. Mechanic Theatre on October 21, 1974, before transferring to fresh York City's Majestic Theatre on January 5, 1975, with a fresh cast. It was a major hit and won seven Tony Awards, including Best Musical. Audiences loved how it blended strong vocals, lively dance numbers, and powerful storytelling.
After its Broadway success, The Wiz was turned into a movie in 1978 starring Diana Ross as Dorothy and Michael Jackson as the Scarecrow. The film gave the story a new city feel and reached a wider audience. Over the years, the show has been revived for the stage numerous times and is recognized as a pivotal part of Black theater history. Its music and message still resonate with people of all ages, and the show has remained popular for decades due to its energy, heart, and celebration of culture.
This year, The Wiz is back on stage for a major national tour. This new version began in 2023 and made its way to Broadway in early 2024. Now, the show is traveling to cities across the United States. The current cast includes Deborah Cox as Glinda and Wayne Brady as The Wiz, with new voices bringing fresh life to the story. Audiences are filling theaters to see this bold and joyful show, which continues to bring magic, music, and meaning to a new generation.
