<p class="MsoNormal" style="" align="center"><span style="">"Ease On Down The Road" with us
as this Tony Award winning Best Musical of 1975 storms onto our stage for the
third time in NWT'S history. Dorothy, the Scarecrow, the Tinman and the Lion travel
a fantastical, futuristic road trip and learn some things along the way about
rising above one's background and the expectations of others.<br>
<br>
As TIME magazine said, The Wiz is ".saucy with black urban humor,
its talk is jumping jivernacular, its walk is a big city strut, its dances have
a blowtorch frenzy, and its songs range from a warm gospel glow to the rock
beat of a riveter mining asphalt." <br>
<br>
"The Wiz is a multicultural collage in which Baum's themes speak to the
broadest possible audience. Unquestionably, the humor and the heartbeat
of the piece remains African-American at their source, but the overall effect
is pluralistic and inclusive." - VARIETY<br>
<br>
"Radiates so much energy you can hardly sit in your seat . . . great
fun."-- N.Y. Post.</span><span style=""><br>
