The Wiz

L Frank Baum, book by William F Brown, music & lyrics by Charlie Smalls

Directed by Carolyn Latter, Musical Direction by John McPherson, Choreography by Leesa Crosbie

It begins on a tumbledown farm in Kansas but the tornado sets Dorothy down in the city of Oz.

The words are jive, the songs upbeat. After celebrating the demise of the Wicked Witch of the East with the Munchkins. Dorothy departs for the Emerald city on a live yellow brick road. She encounters a hip Scarecrow who wants to join her because he feels he isn’t going anywhere, an uptight Tin Man who needs Dorothy’s help to hang lose again and a mama’s boy Lion who has lost faith in the psychiatric help he’s been getting from an owl. Together they will seek help from the Great Man in the flashy city.

They meet with the Wizard who agrees to grant all their wishes as a package deal – if they destroy Evillene the Wicked Witch of the West.

They are captured by menacing winged monkeys then Dorothy loses her cool and douses the old hag with water.

The Wiz confesses he is a con-man from Omaha and has to spread the word about the simple things in life: power, prestige, money. With his odd sort of magic he deals with Dorothy’s three companions. Eventually Addaperle and Glinda, the good witches, re-appear and show Dorothy how to return home.
