The Wiz, the 1974 rock and soul musical based on the beloved L. Frank Baum story about Dorothy and her adventures in Oz, won seven Tony Awards including Best Musical, Best Score and Best Choreography. The Encores! Summers Stars production of The Wiz was directed by Thomas Kail and choreographed by Andy Blankenbuehler, the duo who brought the Tony Award-winning In the Heights to Broadway last season.  Grammy-award winner Ashanti starred as Dorothy, film and television star Orlando Jones was the Wiz, and Tony-award winning actress LaChanze was Glinda.  CAAL members caught the show during its limited run for a great price!
