The Wiz was an all black production that opened on Broadway in 1975. It was about a young black girl, Dorothy, who wants so badly to visit a land far from her own. A tornado hits and sucks her into the land of Oz. To find her way back home Dorothy must follow the yellow brick road and never take off the silver slippers gifted to her by Addaperle. Dorothy eventually finds her way home with the help of a scarecrow, a tin man, and a lion.
