Why see The Wiz?

Dates to be announced

Official dates for this production are still to be announced. We'll update this webpage as soon as we know what they are.

It's the Wonderful Wizard of Oz, but not quite as you know it. Written by Charlie Smalls and William F. Brown, The Wiz reimagines the story of Dorothy and Co. with an entirely African-American cast and a score infused with infectious gospel and soul. Among the show's best known numbers are 'Be the Lion' and 'Ease on Down the Road'.

Originally debuting on Broadway in 1975, The Wiz won seven Tony Awards, including Best Musical and Best Original Score, and was later adapted into the cult movie of the same, which starred Diana Ross and Michael Jackson.

I walked away with my heart bursting with joy! ... Read more

Ease on Down

In our family watching The Wiz with Michael Jackson, Diana Ross, Lena Horne & Nipsey Russell was simply a pure joy. So when I was invited to see The Wiz musical I was so excited to listen to all my favorite songs live. The Wiz musical didn’t disappoint.

In The Wiz on 5th Ave Theatre the role of Dorothy deserved to be played by someone who could sing with the same power like The Scarecrow, The Lion & The Tinman or Glinda. And here is where The Wiz simply fell short. Dorothy, while a beautiful vocalist, when singing those big songs like Home left me wanting so much more. ... Read more

Perfect Rendition

This production of the wiz was worth every penny, we spent upwards of $500. The cast, choreography, vocal, wardrobe, the old and the new it all blended well. Atlanta really shows up and support what’s coming to our city! This is a number one affair! Count on it! African Americans are so much more than trouble. I never write reviews but this truly deserves our candor and support. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ and please don’t sleep on that Wizard he was the sugar honey ice TEA! Good night ATL! ... Read more
