The Tony??Award-winning Best Musical that took the world by storm is back. THE WIZ returns "home" to stages across America in an all-new Broadway tour, the first one in 40 years. Baltimore Sun raves "Powerhouse performances. Stunning choreography. Visionary sets" and Chicago Tribune proclaims THE WIZ is "An eye-popping and high-intensity revival! This groundbreaking twist on The Wizard of Oz changed the face of Broadway--from its iconic score packed with soul, gospel, rock, and 70s funk to its stirring tale of Dorothy's journey to find her place in a contemporary world. With direction by Schele Williams (The Notebook, revival of Disney's Aida), choreography by JaQuel Knight (Beyoncé's "Single Ladies, "Black Is King) and additional material by Tony-nominated and Emmy-nominated writer and TV host Amber Ruffin (The Amber Ruffin Show, Late Night with Seth Meyers), this dynamite infusion of ballet, jazz, and modern pop brings a whole new groove to easing on down the road. Everybody rejoice!
I treated myself to the Wiz for my birthday. By August it did not have some of the original celebs that started the show but I loved it anyway. The Wiz is one of my favorite movies. It was hard not to compare the two but I didn’t want to rob myself of this experience. No it’s not same, yes there are some differences but if you are open to a different take on the story it is worth seeing.
The show was amazing!! The singing was out of this world!! I loved it from beginning to end!! I recommend the play to everyone!!
I attended this show with my adult children in their 20s. We all loved it! The talent level is extremely high - songs were off the charts great. Dancing was really interesting and fresh. While I heard that the show has been trimmed, it could be trimmed some more. Really started feeling long. Lots of funny moments! Book could use a little tightening in spots - jokes didn't always land. But overall definitely worth seeing!
Best musical I’ve seen so far! A must see!! I give the WIZ 5 Stars! Everyone is so talented!! Go out and buy your tickets it’s worth every penny!!!!
Outstanding performance by the artist. The singing was second to none. What a magical experience my wife and I had.
A little too long and too many uninspired and unnecessary dance numbers. Principals were all excellent - great voices and acting. Just enough jokes and fun bits to keep it entertaining but really, it needs to be tightened up. Would have liked to have the ending include reuniting with Auntie Em.
Horrible production. Hideous production and costume design. Terrible orchestrations. A failure to the memory of Geoffrey Holder. One of my all time favorite shows absolutely ruined. Appallingly bad.
The Wiz was the best musical I’ve seen so far. It was culturally relevant, the singing was out of this world! I felt blessed to be able to take my students on this field trip.
I would highly recommend seeing this performance. The writing is superb and the talent is exceptional. It’s nostalgic but new. I would love to see it again!
The entire cast did a phenomenal job. I was totally engrossed from the beginning to the end. The costumes were amazing. Dancing on point. Singing…hands down the best. Comedy had me in stitches. The writers did a fantastic job taking the movie to the stage. The minor tweaks worked really nicely. The best stage performance I’ve seen by far!
