Staying true to the groundbreaking Broadway show that put a vivid urban spin on the land of Oz. Winner of seven Tony Awards, including Best Musical, the original hit Broadway show became a cultural touchstone that also spawned the classic film. Here a Tony-winning creative team has brought together the imaginative acrobats of Cirque du Soleil and a cast of extraordinary singers and dancers to create an exciting new version of the show unlike anything seen before.

COMMUNITY REVIEWS

A Great Rendition submitted by LibraryLiz on July 23, 2016, 4:18pm Wizard of Oz is great, and The Wiz original is great, and this is great as well! Each one is so different, and while this is a re-make of a fabulous original (and no one can replace the legends of Diana Ross and Michael Jackson) these actors step into their musical, dancing shoes quite well. With a new look for the land of Oz, and some new voices, this musical is still a classic and one worth while to spend some time with.

wonderful performances submitted by ravsara on July 24, 2016, 7:50am Our family completely enjoyed this production! The costumes, staging, singing were fabulous! And the actor who played Dorothy is a delight...
