The Wiz

13th Street Repertory Company
50 West 13th Street New York

Smash hit Broadway musical The Wiz combines fairy-tale glamour with street-wise soul in its retelling of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz in the context of African-American culture. Winner of seven Tonys, including Best Musical, it has inspired numerous revivals and a legendary movie starring Diana Ross and Michael Jackson. Now, the magic continues as the yellow brick road rolls into a new, mind-blowing production at Harlem Repertory Theatre. Set in both the venue's upstairs and downstairs performing spaces, the cast of The Wiz will sing and dance between the two floors of the building as Dorothy and her companions take the audience on a journey through the magical land of Oz. With provocative video animations, costumes and puppets dispersed throughout, this event is more than just a musical to see at the theater -- it's an immersive experience you will never forget.
