The 2024 cast recording of The Wiz will be released this summer! The album is set to be released on July 12, 2024, by Immersive/Interscope Records. Further details have yet to be announced at this time. The Broadway cast features Nichelle Lewis as ‘Dorothy,’ Wayne Brady as ‘The Wiz,’ Deborah Cox as ‘Glinda’ and Melody A. Betts as ‘Aunt Em’ and ‘Evillene,’ Kyle Ramar Freeman as ‘Lion,’ Phillip Johnson Richardson as ‘Tinman,’ Avery Wilson as ‘Scarecrow.’ THE WIZ ensemble includes Lauryn Adams, Maya Bowles, Shayla Alayre Caldwell, Jay Copeland, Allyson Kaye Daniel, Judith Franklin, Michael Samarie George, Collin Heyward, Amber Jackson, Olivia Jackson, Christina Jones, Polanco Jones, Kolby Kindle, Mariah Lyttle, Kareem Marsh, Alan Mingo, Jr., Anthony Murphy, Dustin Praylow, Cristina Rae, Matthew Sims Jr, Avilon Trust Tate, Keenan D. Washington, and Timothy Wilson. Based on L. Frank Baum’s children’s book, “The Wonderful Wizard of Oz”, The Wiz takes one of the world’s most enduring (and enduringly white) American fantasies, and transforms it into an all-Black musical extravaganza for the ages. #thewiz #thewizbroadway #easeondowntheroad #brandnewday #musical #musicaltheatre #broadway #theatrenews #theatrelife #musical #theatrelove #musicaltheatre #theatre #theatrekid #musicals #actor #actress #theatrearts #theatrekids #theatretime #theatrelover #theatregeeks #theatrenight #theatreland #theatregeek

From musical theatre 🎭 to tv game show hosting 🎤 to improv 💥 @mrbradybaby has been one of the biggest inspirations to me throughout so many facets of my life. It’s honestly comical how many times I’ve almost met him so the fact that it FINALLY happened was totally worth the wait!!!! 🌟 He’s always shown me that talent knows no limits and new levels of joy are around every corner as long as you keep pursuing them! Talking to him was every bit as wonderful as I thought it’d be! And shoutout to my fellow LMU 🦁 lioness @theofficialmailebrady for being the coolest accomplishment I could compliment your dad on. But wait… it gets even better! 💚 A few days before I made my big move to NYC it was a priority for me to see one of my absolute favorite shows evaaaa in glorious revival form @thewizbway specifically because my hometown of LA was getting a show of this caliber pre-Broadway! And baybee when I tell you this production had me easing on down the road out the theater telling everybody rejoice!!!! So FFWD ⏩ to the fact that Wayne aka The Wiz introduced me to his colleagues was the icing on the cake! 🙌🏽 Meeting @iamnichellelewis the purest powerhouse voice I’ve ever heard who owns it as Dorothy @averywilson the kindest soul on and off the stage who slays as scarecrow and the incomparable icon herself queen #deborahcox who makes me believe as much as my creative namesake Lena Horne did through her stunning performance as Glinda truly left me floating on cloud ⛅️ 9,001! 📣 All this to say, I’m so happy and reeling from this blessing of an interaction that is so affirming of the direction I have taken! And if you’re in need of a spark⚡️to help you keep on keepin’ on the road that you choose and you ain’t seen this show yet, get it together and go! #turndreamsintoreality #yourmindispowerful #ifyoubelieve #easeondowntheroad #golions #thewiz #thewizmusical #thewizbroadway

I Had The Pleasure of Seeing @thewizbway For My Birthday Weekend! This Is One Of My All Time Fav Movies & The Show Was Simply Amazing!!!! Grabbed a Glizzy Before The Show 😂 #thewizonbroadway2024 #blacktheatrematters #marquistheater #easeondowntheroad #explorepage
Last night I finally got to see @thewizbway It’s one of my favorite musicals. I had only seen the movie and the live television special awhile back. Seeing it live is a whole new experience. Thank you to my good friend Edwing (who’s not on social media) for treating me along with @therealadriangilbert The entire Cast was outstanding. I’ve loved deborahcox since I was a teenager I also saw her in Broadway’s “Aida” years back. The fab 4 @philaye @averywilson Kyle Lamar & @iamnichellelewis eased on down the road as if they were born to play those roles @melodybettspage was hilarious. I was In stitches. @mrbradybaby was so much fun as The Wizard & It was so great to see the incredibly talented @collinheyward perform again as I had seen him in The Lion King. The music was outstanding as expected. It was wonderful seeing this 50th anniversary reimagining of a true classic. • • • • • #thewizonbroadway #marquistheater #deborahcox #waynebrady #easeondowntheroad

Good Morning Wiz Fam, Believe it or not meet the one and only Mama Joyce was one of the highlights of my night as well. Getting to talk to her and her friends was an honor. I felt so many good and blessed spirits around them. They loved my silver shoes at the theatre and we all talked about how good the show was and all. I met Ms. @kandi too and she was also so very down to Earth and she definitely has inspired me throughout the years to keep climbing for the stars. Then I ran into them again at the after party and Mama Joyce wanted to take a picture with me. Her spirit was so humbling, loving, and genuine. May God bless this woman’s spirit. Mama Joyce where ever you maybe, if you see this thank you for a memorable night and being a loving spirit. I hope to run into a again real soon 💙 #thewiz #thewizmusical #thewizbroadway #thewizbway #openingnight #openingnightparty #openingnightbroadway #broadwayopening #broadwayopeningnight #easeondowntheroad #thewizrevival #mamajoyce #beautifulsoul #beautifulspirit #strongblackwoman #blackgirlsrock #godblessyou #hardrockcafe #emeraldgreen #rhoa #teamkandi #wewinn #blackqueen #lfrankbaum #ozhistory #ozian #ozhistorians #blackozhistorian #lfrankbaum #slidesomeoiltome #meanolelion

There’s so much to say about this photo right here. Even though I feel like I took too much of her time talking too much and I felt like a complete fool crying. Just know these were REAL TEARS OF JOY. I had to hug her and have a moment with her and I appreciate her for being so patient with me. What this woman and this creative team done with this historic legacy is bring it to 2024 and made it TIMELESS. I appreciate her and her husband comforting me when I got emotional. I was just so touched by what she’s done and my passion for The Wiz got the best of me. Seeing a black woman direct this piece meant everything to me. @schelewilliams I ❤️ you, sorry for blabbering, it was an honor just getting to be in the same room with you.

Meeting this Queen… so down to Earth, so humbled, genuine. All of the above. Her performance…. IS A TRIUMPH. I had to BOW DOWN cause her No Bad News pays honor to Mabel King but her mark on Evillene. Even getting to hold her hand, to fellowship with her, to have a moment with her and Avery afterwords, to meet her family, to give her her flowers and tell her how much her performance really meant to me. Evillene was meant for her. This is her moment. #thewiz #thewizbroadway #melodybetts #evillene #evillenethewitch #evillenethewickedwitch #thewickedwitchofthewest #dontnobodybringmenobadnews #broadway #broadwayopeningnight #easeondowntheroad #lfrankbaum #lfrankbaumthewonderfulwizardofoz #mableking #hardrock #blackgirlmagic #blackgurlsrock #blackgirlsrock #broadwayblack #givecreditwhendue #oz #ozhistory #ozhistoryclub #ozhistorian #thewizhistorian #blackozhistorian #blackbroadway #thewizardofoz
One of the highlights of the opening night of The Wiz on Broadway. It was such an honor to meet and to also fellowship with these beautiful human beings. They were both picked for these parts for a reason. I can’t tell you how proud and honored I am to have watch them in all their glory. They poured their all into Dorothy and Scarecrow vocally and vulnerably. I can’t wait to see you all shine again ! Nothin’ but love to you both and this cast.

Last night my daughter Danielle and I "eased on down" memory lane with a trip to OZ for the opening of the all new revival of THE WIZ. The original production was the very first Broadway show I brought Danielle to as a child. It was such fun celebrating with her and SO MANY members of the original cast while enjoying the tremendous talent of this revival. "There's no place like home." 💗👏 Reposted from @thewizhistorian Today’s THE DAY !!!! The Wiz OPENS ON BROADWAY TONIGHT ! It’s been a long time coming and a yellow brick road that has been full of obstacles to get where we are now. I’m so thankful for this story, this legacy that is continuing after almost 50 years that gave us as black people black joy, black excellence, and love to thrive forever. This beautiful piece of Americana makes me appreciate my culture, where I come, that our stories MATTER, and we exist in fantasy too. Happy Opening Night !!! Happy Broadway Duets !!! Happy History Making !!!

About last night… It was a huge honor to play on the Broadway Revival of “The Wiz”. The night was outstanding and magical. 💫💥 Almost fifty years ago the original came to Broadway (feat. Stephanie Mills, Dee Dee Bridgewater) and soon after the classic movie was released (feat. Michael Jackson, Diana Ross). So the privilege of being part of this legacy is not lost on me. Shout-out to the amazing orchestra and company. Much gratitude to maestros Joseph Jaubert & Paul Byssainthe Jr. #TheWiz #OpeningNight #Broadway #EaseOnDownTheRoad #AboutLastNight #Bass #MichaelOlatuja #MeetTheWizard #Home

(yes I even sketch in the dark at plays!) this was the best performance on Broadway I have ever seen AND the best ever experience at the stage door I ever had. Everyone was so friendly. The energy was intoxicating 🥰🤩❤️ To all the actors and actresses in this show you were spectacular! #kylelamarfreeman #averywilson #nycsketch #thewiz #nycbroadway # #wizardofoz #oz #playbill #easeondowntheroad #marquistheatre #thewizbroadway #thewizrevival #home #hesthewiz #broadway #bestnightever @thewizbway

Saw the joyous return of The Wiz on Broadway. Just a great time and incredible signing and dancing all around. Loved it! #thewiz #thewizonbroadway #marquis #marquistheater #marquistheatre #broadway #broadwaymusical #broadwayshow #home #easeondowntheroad #thewizardofoz #nyc #newyork #newyorkcity #timessquare #sundaymatinee #sundayfunday
@thewizbway @kkreset can't wait to see. #easeondowntheroad
What an absolutely perfect birthday I had easing on down the road with the beyond amazing revival of @thewizbway! Every single person in that cast is giving some of the best vocal performances I’ve ever heard live, the new book by @amberruffin is beautifully crafted to give you a bit more backstory on the characters AND I got to take my mom to NYC for the first time ever in her life AND take her to her first Broadway show. Thank you @schelewilliams. I saw you in the last row of the theatre last night and didn’t want to bother you, but this new The Wiz made my Oz obsessed heart explode 😍 #thewiz #thewizbroadway #easeondowntheroad #deborahcox #waynebrady #believeinyourself #broadway #musicaltheatre
"The Wiz" is coming back to Broadway! This time, behind the man behind the curtain is not a man at all...it's thee @amberruffin! The comedian and writer graced us with a hilarious conversation that you can hear this Sunday at 6pm ET (check your local public radio listings), and her story of discovering and falling in love with "The Wiz" makes us want to hear yours! Leave a comment below or leave us a message at 844-745-8255. We're going to share your stories on the show soon! @thewizbway #TheWiz #easeondowntheroad #brandnewday

Wednesday matinee - THE NOTEBOOK 📔😭 Wednesday evening - THE WIZ 💚🦁 With my amazing theater date.. the lovely Stacey Goode Also Anthony Murphy brought OZ realness to The Land Of Oz!!! (And that arrangement of “Be A Lion” is 🔥) #carryyouhome #dontyoucarrynothingthatmightbeaload #easeondowntheroad @notebookmusical @thewizbway
about last night 😭🥹🫶☀️🫶🥹😭 if we had to pick a Broadway cast and score to represent Team USA at the Olympics (if that were a thing 🤣🤣), @thewizbway would be it. PERIOD. this revived Oz is a SPICE RACK of singer gods with unbelievable skill tackling unimaginable feat after feat each in their own superb flavor and style. so yes our ear tastebuds were FED henny as we were also stunned to tears too many times by the sheer combination of unapologetic soul and vocal chord steel, all while embodying these classic characters we LOVE. we already can’t wait to go back and next time, we might throw our silver shoes 🤣🤣 applauding the entire cast and company from dancer to designer, @amberruffin ‘s FRESH new book, @schelewilliams storytelling clarity and pacing, @akayedaniel for trading her good witch vibes for BAD last night as she wonderstudy crushed as Aunt Em and Evilene, @kolbykin for being our Oz boo thing, and everything happening down in that pit to SOAR Charlie Smalls score for an audience today. THANK YOU for these gifts. stay tuned for @thewizbway content coming to the pod feed oh so soon 🎧 #thewiz #thewizbroadway #broadwayrevivals #revival #bestrevival #musicaltheatre #broadwaymusicals #wizardofoz #thewizardofoz #easeondowntheroad #brandnewday
