A vibrant reimagining of The Wizard of Oz with a soulful twist, The Wiz follows Dorothy, a young woman from Kansas, who is whisked away by a tornado to the magical Land of Oz. Lost and far from home, she sets out on a journey down the Yellow Brick Road to find The Wiz, the only person who can help her return home.
Along the way, Dorothy befriends a lovable scarecrow in search of a brain, a tender hearted Tin Man longing for a heart, and a brave Lion who needs courage. Together, they face dazzling challenges, wicked witches, and unforgettable adventures - all set to an electrifying mix of gospel, soul, R&B, and pop music.
Bursting with energy, humor, and heart, The Wiz is a joyous celebration of self-discovery, friendship, and believing in the power within yourself to find your way home.
Tickets will go on sale approximately two weeks prior to performance
