Tuesday 15 October 1991—Friday 18 October 1991
The Wiz is an exiting Motown musical, written originally for Michael Jackson and Diana Ross, which follows the storyline of the classic movie “The Wizard of Oz”.
Dorothy, a young Kansas girl, is unexpectedly carried off from her family home by a huge tornado. She finds herself in a strange but colourful land and is greeted by everyone she meets. Her only chance of getting back home, the people tell her, is to visit the Wiz, so she sets off on the Yellow Brick Road with her new-found friends, the Lion, the Scarecrow and the Tinman.
But the journey to the Emerald City, where the Wiz is to be found, is blocked by many obstacles…including the evil witch, Evillene, who will do anything in her power to stop Dorothy…
