The Wiz Live!
Ease on down the road to Oz!
Directed by Kenny Leon, Matthew Diamond
Produced by NBC
A vibrant, high-energy live musical adaptation that celebrates self-discovery and friendship through spectacular theatrical spectacle and joyful performance.
Winner of 7 Tony Awards, including Best Musical, The Wiz was a massive Broadway hit which spawned a dismal feature film starring Diana Ross and Michael Jackson. Executive Producers Craig Zadan and Neil Meron have assembled a Tony-winning creative team, the imaginative Cirque du Soleil Theatrical and a diverse cast of showstoppers designed to create an eye-popping new take on the musical unlike anything ever seen.
