ARTS COLLECTIVE THEATRE | THE WIZ | WINDSOR 2019

For its 2019 community production, ACT presented "The Wiz" a glorious musical retelling of Frank Baum’s “Wonderful Wizard of Oz” set in the context of African-American culture. With an infectious funky soul score and lyrics by Charlie Smalls, “The Wiz” brought renewed relevance to a timeless classic. The 1975 Broadway production was like nothing Broadway had ever seen, and ultimately won seven Tony Awards, including Best Musical and Best Score. Music and lyrics by Charlie Smalls (and others) and book by William F. Brown.
ACT team included Director Chris Rabideau, Musical Director Damon Soumas, and Choreographer Jolie Katembo.
