Photo Flash: First Look at WOZ: A ROCK CABARET with Guest Star Andre De Shields

After selling out shows across Chicago, "WOZ: A Rock Cabaret," is back by popular demand for five performances only now through July 17, 2016 at Victory Gardens Theater, 2433 N. Lincoln Ave. in Chicago. Joining the original cast as the Wizard is Tony Award-nominated actor André De Shields, Broadway's original "The Wiz" (1975). The press opening is tonight, July 15 at 7:30 pm. BroadwayWorld has a first look at the cast in action below!

Inspired by the beloved film The Wizard of Oz, these Ozians will follow the yellow brick road to the tune of iconic rock anthems from the '80s and '90s. It's like your favorite radio station but better... because it has witches and munchkins!

"WOZ: A Rock Cabaret" is created by Kimberly Lawson and Will Rogers, with direction by Scott Gryder and music direction by Nick Sula. The return engagement features original cast members Kimberly Lawson (Dorothy), Heather Currie (Wicked Witch), Clara D'Onofrio (Glinda), Edward Fraim (Lion), David Lipschutz (Munchkin, Winkie Soldier), James Nedrud (Tin Man), Kevin Webb (Scarecrow) and Sarah Wurz (Munchkin, Winkie Soldier).
