The Wiz

The Wiz is a funky, soulful retelling of the classic, The Wizard of Oz.  It begins ona tumbledown farm in Kansas, but a tornadosets Dorothy and Toto down in the big-city of Oz. After celebrating the demise of the Wicked Witch of theEast with the Munchkins, Dorothy departs for the Emerald City with a live yellow brick road. She encounters a hip Scarecrow who wants to join her so he can get a brain; an uptight Tin Man who needs Dorothy's help to feel again, and a mama's-boy Lion who has lost his courage. Together they will seek help from the wonderful Wizard in the Emerald city, and Dorothy will realize there is no place like home.  The words are jive, the songs upbeat, and features hit songs like: Ease on Down the Road, No Bad News, and Home.  Don’t miss this family friendly, soul-stirring, foot-tapping musical.  The Wiz runs Jan. 26-28 and Feb. 2-4, 7:30PM at Dawson High School.   To purchase tickets for the show click here!
