The Wiz
The Tony-winning Best Musical The Wiz brings its new tour to Whiting Auditorium in Flint on Sunday, June 6, at 7 p.m., presented by the Flint Institute of Music. Tickets start at $48.
The Wiz retells The Wizard of Oz as Dorothy's journey in a contemporary world, set to soul, gospel, rock and 70s funk. The original 1975 Broadway production won seven Tonys, including Best Musical. "Ease on Down the Road" was the breakout single, and "Home" has become a classic. This new production is directed by Schele Williams, with choreography by JaQuel Knight and additional material by Amber Ruffin.
The show is recommended for ages 8 and up and runs about 2 hours 20 minutes with a 20-minute intermission. It uses haze, smoke and flashing lights. Genesee County residents pay from $35, and prices include fees. Groups of 10 or more get special pricing, veterans have a day-of-show offer, and a 3+ show package saves 15%.
