About
THE WIZ is making its return to Broadway for a limited engagement starting in March 2024 following the 2023 National Tour, which launched in Baltimore, the same city where the original musical reimagining of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz made its debut in 1974. The 1975 Broadway run garnered seven Tony Awards, including Best Musical, Best Original Score for Charlie Smalls, Best Choreography for George Faison and Best Direction for Geoffrey Holder. Its 2024 iteration will embrace the timelessness of the classic Wizard of Oz musical as it celebrates its 50th anniversary, while adding a new dimension thanks to direction by Schele Williams (The Notebook), choreography by Beyoncé collaborator JaQuel Knight and additional material written by writer, actor and television show host Amber Ruffin. THE WIZ cast features Nichelle Lewis as Dorothy, Wayne Brady as The Wiz, Deborah Cox as Glinda, Melody Betts as Aunt Em/Evillene, Kyle Ramar Freeman as Lion, Phillip Johnson Richardson as Tinman and Avery Wilson as Scarecrow.
