THE WIZ Performances Resume Tonight Following Technical Issue

BroadwayWorld has confirmed that yesterday evening's performance of The Wiz was canceled early in Act 1 due to "a technical issue early in the performance." Audience reports indicated that it was halted about 20 minutes into the show, following the opening number. A show spokesperson confirmed that performances will resume tonight, August 1.

The Wiz officlally opened on Broadway on April 17, 2024 at the Marquis Theatre. It will conclude its limited engagement on August 18, 2024. 

Following its Broadway run on August 18, The Wiz will ease on down the road once again for a second leg North American Tour beginning in February 2025.

This groundbreaking twist on The Wizard of Oz changed the face of Broadway—from its iconic score packed with soul, gospel, rock, and 70s funk to its stirring tale of Dorothy’s journey to find her place in a contemporary world. A dynamite infusion of ballet, jazz, and modern pop brings a whole new groove to easing on down the road.
