"The Wiz" is a motown version of "The Wizard of Oz" featuring songs including "Ease on Down the Road", "Be a Lion" and "Home". It was produced on Broadway in the 70s starring Stephanie Mills and then as a Sidney Lumet directed film (starring Diana Ross and Michael Jackson).
"The Wiz" opens August 2nd. Straw Hat Theatre is located in Ashtabula, Ohio; on the grounds of the Ashtabula Arts Center. During the summer of 2012, I directed "Godspell" there and below is a clip from that show.
