Broadway In Chicago has announced that The Wiz, Les Misérables, and Chicago will return to the city in 2026. The new national tours will play at the James M. Nederlander Theatre, the Cadillac Palace Theatre, and the Auditorium Theatre.
The benefit of a stage production means it will always be malleable to change, always willing to look at how a story written in the past can still be relevant in the present, and remain timeless for the future. What follows in this new production of The Wiz is a recontextualization of our favorite characters. While the structure of the story is faithful to the Baum novel and MGM film, it comes with small, but noticeable details that reframe this familiar story not just as a fantastical quest, but as a bildungsroman and revenge tale at the same time.
The Raymond F. Kravis Center for the Performing Arts has announced that tickets for THE WIZ and additional performances of ’TWAS THE NIGHT BEFORE… BY CIRQUE DU SOLEIL will go on sale to the public Friday, August 29 at 10:00 a.m..

The Wiz is an all-Black musical reimagining of L. Frank Baum’s 1900 classic children’s novel, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. The story follows Dorothy, a young girl who lives on a farm in Kansas, until a cyclone arrives, picks up her house, and blows her away to the fantastical land of Oz.

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.
Dana Cimone is so thrilled and honored to be making her debut as Dorothy in The Wiz. We catch up to talk about how the role came to be, how she is celebrating her 21st Birthday while on tour, and how you too can find home ever on the road. Watch in this video!
