Let’s be frank: Charlie Smalls and William F. Brown’s disco and motown-infused smash-hit musical THE WIZ is pretty legendary. It’s glorious score is on a rousing display, right on the forefront; it’s an electrifying, family-friendly piece of pure theatre gold bursting at the seams with humor and personality; it’s a five decade-old gem oozing with everything you could possibly expect in a memorable musical and then some, and it’s back where it belongs - on stage, ready to knock Toledo of its feet!
Composer Charlie Smalls and playwright William F. Brown’s Afro-American retelling of L. Frank Baum’s iconic ‘The Wonderful Wizard Of Oz’ quickly became a staple in musical theatre culture - a stage sensation that redefined the term ‘showstopper’. THE WIZ made its stage debut in 1974 in Baltimore, after which it moved to the Majestic Theatre on Broadway where it ran for a mind-blowing 1,672 performances. THE WIZ brought down the house and shook up the critics, earning no less than seven Tony Awards, five Drama Desk Awards, and two Theatre World Awards.
THE WIZ’s new revival oozes with off-the-charts production value - from a star-studded cast with vocal prowess galore to high-octane choreography; from eye-popping special effects to gorgeous scenery; from x-factor type of connection and heaps of chemistry to pure glee oozing from the stage into the audience; from TNT-type energy to all-round astonishment - you’re in for an experience for the books!
The yellow brick road is leading straight to the Stranahan Theater - one of the nation’s favorite spots for world-class entertainment! The Stranahan Theater has a long history of welcoming nothing but the best to its glorious stage, making it a much sought-after venue for top-tier events. With its state-of-the-art sound and lighting systems, unparalleled acoustics, great amenities, and crystal-clear sight-lines and loads of comfortable seating, the Stranahan Theater is ready to conjure up an Oz like you’ve never seen before!
