The 1978 film “The Wiz” is beloved by audiences, who identify with the main character Dorothy, who is trying to get back home after being transported to an urban fantasy land called Oz. The popular film is based off the 1974 musical by Charlie Smalls and William F. Brown, which retells L. Frank Baum’s novel “The Wonderful Wizard of Oz” within the framework of African-American culture.
The national tour of “The Wiz” will visit Centennial Hall from Tuesday, Jan. 6, to Sunday, Jan. 11.
It is being presented as part of the “Broadway in Tucson” series…
