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!

The Wiz Returns to Detroit with High-Energy Revival at the Fisher Theatre
9 / 10
The cast is stacked with triple-threat performers who bring energy, heart, and humor to every scene—especially Dana Cimone as a spunky, vocally stunning Dorothy and Elijah Ahmed Lewis as a standout Scarecrow. Highlights like “Ease on Down the Road,” “Home,” and “Don’t Nobody Bring Me No Bad News” aren’t just nostalgic—they’re delivered with fresh, emotional power. Director Schele Williams and a top-notch creative team have crafted a production that’s not just a revival, but a reinvigoration, reminding us why The Wiz broke barriers in the first place—and why it’s still so necessary and joyous today.
Review: ‘The Wiz’ glitters at the Paramount Theatre on first stop on national tour
8 / 10
More than 125 years after the original novel was written, Oz still has a grip on the zeitgeist of today. Maybe it’s because we can all relate to Dorothy — looking for the right person to ask for our dreams, not realizing we have to achieve them ourselves. Maybe something about the fantastical nature of Oz just invites reimagining, over and over. Whatever the reason, “The Wiz” is a vision of Oz that’s well worth your time.
