"The Wiz" Broadway Revival: A Black Classic's Maximalist Return
TL;DR Summary
The new revival of "The Wiz" on Broadway is criticized for being flimsy and lackluster, with cheap CGI backdrops and unremarkable sets. While the talented cast and infectious tunes offer occasional hope, the production's cut corners and underwhelming choreography detract from the overall experience, leaving much to be desired in comparison to other "Oz" adaptations.
