On the sixth day of Christmas, Deborah writes: 'Being on the road and doing THE WIZ across the country before we come home to Broadway, you can’t imagine how much I’ve been enjoying doing these Twelve Days of Christmas with BroadwayWorld and sharing them all with you. But today, I got a little surprise.'
What did our critic think of THE WIZ at Des Moines Performing Arts?
It’s been almost 40 years since the last time “The Wiz” was on Broadway, and the show is currently starting to “Ease on Down the Road” and going on a pre-Broadway national tour. While it’s not scheduled to open on Broadway at the Marquis Theatre until March 29, 2024, you can see it through December 17 at Des Moines Performing Arts. If the reaction from the audience is any indication of how it will be received on Broadway, then the show, like Dorothy, is on a journey that will lead them… “Home.”

On the fifth day of Christmas, Deborah writes: 'Today, I share with you an R&B “classic” BOYZ II MEN are timeless and this version of the song reminds me of the time I spent living in L.A.
