"The Wiz" Broadway Revival: A Star-Studded Return to the Yellow Brick Road
TL;DR
"The Wiz," a classic Black adaptation of "The Wizard of Oz," returns to Broadway with a revival directed by Schele Williams and an updated book by Amber Ruffin. The production aims to present a fresh take "through the Blackest of Black lenses," featuring a Black cast and creative visuals. While showcasing standout performances and creative visuals, the revival falls short of fully bringing modern Blackness to Broadway.
