The Wiz Full Broadway Show
For the holiday season I give you the wiz live in 1984, the revival tour.
The Wiz opened at the Lunt-Fontanne Theatre in New York on May 24, 1984 (after previewing from May 17, 1984). It closed on June 3, 1984 after 13 performances. The production stopped in New York after a lengthy tour.
Though it didn't recieve good reviews I find it a classic and this can't be kept a secret.
