The '70s Tony Award-winning musical "The Wiz," a soulful retelling of L. Frank Baum's "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz," is back on Broadway. Contributor Kelefa Sanneh talks with members of the cast (including Wayne Brady, who is stepping into the shoes of the Wiz), and with director Schele Williams and writer Amber Ruffin, who are revising the show for today's audience.

This Broadway show was amazing. I saw it twice in one month.

@wendysharpe9277 5 месяцев назад

This new version was spectacular. The tin man has some serious swag and the lion was full of energy and fun. The scarecrow was hysterical. Saw Stephanie Mills in the 70’s and this new Dorthy held her own. Wayne Brady is the perfect Wiz.

I saw it 1974 on Broadway with my high school sweet heart! It was our first Broadway show experience! I remember Stephanie Mills she was beautiful and amazing! We were about the same age and came from the same neighborhood! -That really meant a lot to me as a young Black Girl! When she sang home I knew what she was talking about!-🫶🏾🫶🏾🫶🏾👏🏾👏🏾Love You Always Stephanie!❤

Awesome Show, new up to date spin on it!!! As a baby my mom use to sing the Judy Garland's "Over The Rainbow" with my daughter & we saw the sold out show on Easter Sunday, 03/31/24. As a child my parents took me to see the Original The Wiz Broadway Play, starring Stephanie Mills. Played the soundtrack in our home all the time.

The WIZ is truly one of the best musicals and movie adaptations from the original Broadway show, as well as the original 1939 Judy Garland movie (in which no one can replace her as Dorothy). Even like the late Michael Jackson, I’m always easing on down that Yellow Brick Road, whenever I’m watching any adaptation of The WIZ, myself.

The music from the Wiz is so underrated. The songs are great both pertinent to the narrative and relevant on their own. Its unfortunate that only Ease on Down and Home have been embraced, because there are so many songs from this show with weight. Personally i find the film version an acquired taste due to tone. However, the original cast album is much cherished by me. And Stephanie Mills? Good god, what a voice! She deserves more recognition.

@reneebrooks2722 3 месяца назад

With all due respect, the only version that matters and is still in my head in 2024 is the 1975 Broadway version. It had a spectacular cast, great scenery for that time, and a message that really meant something to the black community. This production looks like what it is a watered-down watch-the-budget roadshow tour. Broadway has become very expensive so I'm curious how many will be able to afford the ticket prices. If you want to sit in heaven (it's a big theatre) the cheapest seats average $75-$125 each and the best seats in the orchestra average $150-$500 each depending on the date and if it's a matinee or evening performance.

They failed to say the musical won Tony for Best Musical, Andre De Shields won for playing the wiz, DeeDee Bridgewater won was well. The album was a multi million seller. Stephanie Mills became a Star and went on to have A Grammy winning career. It was a tremendous success on Broadway and such. Very misleading piece.

The original Broadway production won multiple awards.
