A legendary tale infused with disco and motown magic: we’re all over it! It’s incredible score is on a rousing display, right on the forefront; it’s an electrifying, wholesome piece of pure theatre gold bursting at the seams with humor and personality; it’s a tried-and-tested gem oozing with eye-popping sets, breathtaking hand-sewn costumes, mind-blowing choreography, and it’s hitting the stage once more, 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 made its stage debut 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 new revival ticks all the boxes for an evening of great musical theatre - from a star-studded cast with soaring voices to incredible choreography; from eye-popping special effects to masterfully crafted scenery; from connection and chemistry galore 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 won’t ever forget!
