Review: THE WIZ at KC Music Hall
by Alan Portner - Jul 9, 2025

A surprising, bright, and entertaining production of THE WIZ opened Tuesday night at Kansas City’s Music Hall to an almost full house for a one week run.  THE WIZ is the season closer for American Theatre Guild’s 2024-2025 season.  I’m not sure what I was expecting with THE WIZ, but I found myself being grabbed from the very first number and thoroughly entertained.

Review: When the Sound Fails, the Cast Soars in THE WIZ at DCPA
by Jon Bee - Apr 16, 2025

Technical difficulties once again take centerstage at the Buell for the latest National Tour to come to Denver. The Wiz got off to a late start and even later second act after audio equipment failed. I am not sure if these issues are specific to the touring productions or if the problems are in-house. Eitherway, they seem to be happening more frequently in a space that already has problems with the acoustics.
