How wonderful is The Wiz? The winner of seven Tony Awards, including Best Musical, this Broadway sensation has inspired numerous revivals and a legendary movie starring Diana Ross and Michael Jackson. Now the magic continues, as the yellow brick road rolls right across the stage of the Tacoma Musical Playhouse. A soulful retelling of L. Frank Baum's The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, The Wiz combines fairy-tale glamour with street-wise soul to form a mysterious and fanciful fantasy for today. With a lively mix of rock, gospel and soul tunes, this production features a score full of beloved hits like "Ease on Down the Road," "A Brand New Day" and "Home."
