"The Wiz" will ease on down the road back to Broadway in an all-new adaptation set for 2024.
But before its return to New York, the Tony Award-winning musical will kick off a national tour next year in Baltimore, where the original production debuted in 1974.
The "entirely reimagined revival" will be helmed by theater vet and Black Theater United founding member Schele Williams ("Motown the Musical," "Aida," "Rent") in her Broadway directorial debut. It will also feature additional material by Emmy-nominated writer and TV host Amber Ruffin ("The Amber Ruffin Show," "Key & Peele," "Late Night With Seth Meyers," "A Black Lady Sketch Show").
