The Wiz | Mr Matt Cocking
Get ready to journey down the yellow brick road once again as the enchanting world of The Wiz comes to life on stage! With its vibrant characters, catchy tunes, and timeless message, this beloved musical is set to captivate audiences of all ages. Tickets are on sale now and typically sell out quickly, so don't miss your chance to experience the magic.
The Wiz first hit Broadway in 1975, and since then, it has been cherished by generations for its reimagining of the classic story, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. The Wiz follows Dorothy, a young woman who is whisked away to the magical Land of Oz after a tornado hits her home. Along the way, she meets a cast of unforgettable characters – the Scarecrow, the Tin Man, and the Cowardly Lion – who join her on her quest to find the mysterious Wiz and, ultimately, her way back home.
What sets The Wiz apart is its irresistible blend of soul, gospel, and R&B music, which infuses the story with energy and emotion. From the toe-tapping "Ease on Down the Road" to the soulful ballad "Home," the musical numbers will surely have you singing along and tapping your feet. With its infectious rhythms and powerful vocals, The Wiz transports audiences to a world where anything is possible.
Our upcoming production of The Wiz promises to be a visual feast for the senses. From the dazzling costumes to the stunning set design, every detail has been carefully crafted for our talented cast of performers, a field of play that you and they will not forget for years to come.
