BRIEF HISTORY ABOUT THE WIZ
Broadway history was made forty years ago when the cast and crew of The Wiz: The Supersoul Musical ‘Wizard of Oz’ received 9 Tony nominations and 8 wins.
The production was led and performed by African Americans, all of whom shared the honors of winning the 1975 Tony for Best Musical. The Wiz was also groundbreaking for its adaptation of L. Frank Baum’s The Wonderful Wizard of Oz (1900) as a tale that celebrates African American street style as a unique subculture and unapologetically American way of life.
The song lyrics, script, sets, and costumes all reference and champion the struggles and triumphs of African Americans. - National Museum of African American History & Culture
