The Wiz Live!

Directed by Kenny Leon, Matthew Diamond

Written by Harvey Fierstein, William F. Brown, Tina Tippit, L. Frank Baum, Charlie Smalls

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.
