Based on the book The Wonderful Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum, The Wizwas a Broadway sensation when it premiered in 1975. The musical ran for four years and won seven Tony Awards, including Best Choreography, Best Costume Design, and Best Musical. With blues, jazz, pop, soul, and more, The Wiz was — and still is — a landmark for Black art on Broadway. Now is your chance to see this musical that transforms a classic story into a celebration of Black culture and joy, now featuring a sharp and hilarious new script by comedian Amber Ruffin.
