William F. Brown

Dorothy Gale, a shy kindergarten teacher, is swept away to the magic land of Oz where she embarks on a quest to return home.

Winner of 7 Tony Awards, including Best Musical, The Wiz was a massive Broadway hit which spawned a dismal feature film starring Diana Ross and Michael Jackson. Executive Producers Craig Zadan and Neil Meron have assembled a Tony-winning creative team, the imaginative Cirque du Soleil Theatrical and a diverse cast of showstoppers designed to create an eye-popping new take on the musical unlike anything ever seen.

This re-telling of L. Frank Baum's The Wizard of Oz comes to the Hope Mill Theatre (Manchester, UK), the first major UK staging of the 1975 musical in 10 years. Ease on down the road with Dorothy, the Scarecrow, the Tin Man, and the Lion in this super soul musical.
