A classic tale infused with disco and motown magic: it hits the sweet spot, for sure. It’s glorious score is on a rousing display, right on the forefront; it’s an exciting, family-friendly piece of 24 karat theatre gold bursting at the seams with humor and personality; it’s a tried-and-tested gem oozing with everything that makes for excellent musical theatre, and it’s back where it belongs - on stage, ready to knock Chicago of its feet!
Composer Charlie Smalls and playwright William F. Brown’s Afro-American retelling of L. Frank Baum’s children’s novel ‘The Wonderful Wizard Of Oz’ quickly catapulted to the top of theatre-favorites - a stage sensation that redefined the term ‘showstopper’. THE WIZ exploded onto the musical scene in a puff of smoke in 1974 in Baltimore, after which it moved to the Majestic Theatre on Broadway where it ran for four years of sold-out performances. THE WIZ really knocked Broadway off its axis and received no less than seven Tony Awards, five Drama Desk Awards, and two Theatre World Awards.
THE WIZ’s latest revival oozes with off-the-charts production value - from a world-renowned cast with voices to die for to high-energy choreography; from breathtaking special effects to stunning scenery that transports you to a whole different world; from x-factor type of connection and chemistry that can’t be confined to an immense delight oozing from the stage into the audience; from TNT-type energy to all-round enchantment - you’re in for an experience you’ll remember long after the last notes have died down!
Go on, ease on down the road to the Nederlander Theatre at Ford Center for the Performing Arts - one of North America’s favorite spots for all things performance!
