Everybody look around, there’s reason to rejoice! The Tony Award®-winning Best Musical that took the world by storm is back. Based on L. Frank Baum’s children’s book, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, The Wiz returns home to the American stage with an all-new adaptation.
"I can't say enough about these great songs' beautiful staging and new arrangements. All the vocalists were terrific and had a lovely blend. Unfortunately, I attended in the absence of one of the main cast characters, but I was still floored by the understudy's ability to carry the role of the scarecrow. "

"I'm old enough to remember the original movie and I was pleasantly surprised at how funny this production was, and it was not just the major roles, but the ensemble cast as well. The music and the choreography were great as well. If this was not the last performance, I would be willing to see it again."

"WOW!! I cannot begin to express how entertaining the show was. It was gripping from start to finish. The Wiz had everything; belly laughs, actual tears from Dorothy’s pain (my wife happily cried throughout), suspense, intrigue. The choreography was masterful. The music was perfection to the last note. The costumes and set design were worth the price of admission alone. We cannot thank the cast and crew enough for the experience. The staff was completely engaging and helpful throughout. Keith, our usher, left his entire being in the performance of his duties and helped to add the perfect finishing touch to bring this show to the top. I’m broken hearted that this was the final show and wait to see its resurgence so that we can come back. Thank you Broadway. Thank you everyone involved in this amazing production. We cannot say enough to express our gratitude for the show. "

"If Broadway doesn't bring back The Wiz with this amazing cast, then Broadway doesn't have a clue what it's doing! The cast, the music, the set design, the energy, even the themed drinks for purchase were perfect!! The Lion was my f-a-v-o-r-i-t-e!! WHEW!! His acting, his voice, his signature song!! I'm singing it now as I write this!! "Beeee a liiioooon (deep breath, hand in the air) in my own waaaaay!"
Even though I saw only a few children at the 7pm showing (probably because it was a weeknight), I'd absolutely recommend it for school-age children and older. The positive messaging and mesmerizing performance and set design will definitely keep them captivated, and believing they can Be A Lion!
The only small change I would make is regarding the Wicked Witch Evilene. Although her singing was amazing, her acting was a bit lackluster. She didn't project "wicked witch." Maybe I'm unfairly comparing her to legend Mabel King? Maybe just an off-night for her?
My recommendation to everyone: PETITION BROADWAY TO BRING BACK THE WIZ!!! BRING BACK THE WIZ!!!
BRING BACK THE WIZ!!!
BRING BACK THE WIZ!!!
BRING BACK THE WIZ!!!"
