About THE WIZ
The Tony Award-winning Best Musical THE WIZ returns in a dazzling national tour, bringing its groundbreaking twist on The Wizard of Oz to West Palm Beach. Packed with soul, gospel, rock, and 70s funk, the score powers Dorothy’s timeless journey to find her place in a contemporary world.
The cast is led by Dana Cimone (Dorothy, national tour debut), Alan Mingo Jr. (The Wiz), Sheherazade (Glinda, debut), Kyla Jade (Aunt Em/Evillene), D. Jerome (Tinman), Cal Mitchell (Lion), and Elijah Ahmad Lewis (Scarecrow). The ensemble features a powerhouse group of emerging talents.
Directed by Schele Williams (The Notebook), with choreography by JaQuel Knight (Beyoncé’s Single Ladies), additional material by Amber Ruffin, orchestrations by Joseph Joubert, and music direction by Adam Blackstone, this revival conjures a bold, reimagined Oz. The creative team includes Oscar and Emmy winners in scenic, costume, and design fields, promising a spectacle that blends ballet, jazz, and modern pop.
Originally premiering on Broadway in 1975, THE WIZ won seven Tony Awards and became a cultural landmark. Its breakout hit “Ease on Down the Road” and the ballad “Home” remain classics today.

Conceived and directed by James Hadley, a 25-year Cirque veteran, the show has quickly become a new holiday tradition.
