The Wiz The Broadway Hit
Although based on L. Frank Baum's The Wizard of Oz, The Wiz takes the classic fairy tale in an all-new direction with an all-black cast, an exciting rock score, and a modern libretto that reframes the story in such a way that it seems somehow more relevant. The Wiz opened at the Majestic Theater on January 5, 1975. The production enjoyed a run of 1,672 performances and went on to win 7 Tony Awards including "Best Musical" and "Best Score." The 1978 film version featured Diana Ross, Michael Jackson, Nipsey Russell, Ted Ross, Lena Horne, and Richard Pryor.
