On his website, Tituss Burgess--currently on Broadway in Jersey Boys--has announced his casting in the La Jolla Playhouse's upcoming revival of The Wiz, which is possibly Broadway-bound.
Burgess will play the Cowardly Lion in The Wiz, which will be directed by Jersey Boys' Des McAnuff (LaJolla's Artistic Director through April of 2007) and will run at the Mandell Weiss Theatre from September 26th to November 12th. The San Diego production will also feature "the same creative team that brought Jersey Boys to fruition," according to Burgess. The performer writes that "it is rumored the production will see New York next year."
