When a tornado whisks Dorothy and her little dog Toto to a magical land filled with witches, munchkins and other wild and wonderful sights, she soon finds herself heading for the Emerald City itself. Can she defeat the Wicked Witch of the West and uncover the secrets of Oz?Based on Frank L. Baum’s children’s story, The Wiz was a Broadway sensation when it premiered back in 1975. Running for four years and with seven Tony Awards under its belt, it transforms the classic tale into a celebration of Black culture infused with jazz, blues, soul and pop-inspired songs including “Home,” “Ease On Down the Road,” and “Don’t Nobody Bring Me No Bad News”.
