Friday–Sunday, April 30–May 2, 2027

Part of HANCHER’S 2026–2027 SEASON and BROADWAY SERIES

Winner of the Tony Award for Best Musical, The Wiz returns “home” to stages across America in an all-new tour. This groundbreaking twist on The Wizard of Oz changed the face of Broadway—from its iconic score packed with soul, gospel, rock, and 70s funk to its stirring tale of Dorothy’s journey to find her place in a contemporary world.

ASL, audio description, and closed captions will be available for the Sunday 2:00 p.m. performance. Contact Paris Young at paris-sissel@uiowa.edu or call (319) 467-4849 with questions.

Audience advisory: The Wiz is recommended for ages 8+. This production uses haze, smoke, and flashing lights.
