The acoustics there leave a bit to be desired.

Anyone familiar withThe Wizard of Ozknows the plot ofThe Wiz.

The main difference from L. Frank Baums original is thatThe Wizis Black as hell.

But thats absolutely fine when the story is so well-known and the numbers aresoshow-stopping.

This cast is remarkable.

Shame for the acoustics, however, as Lewis lovely voice often felt drowned out compared to everyone elses.

His Lion is boisterous, flamboyant, and the biggest ham this side of a pork shoulder.

Hes clearly having the most fun out of everyone and its impossible not to share in it.

Thats quite the run of songs but it leaves you feeling nothing short of euphoric.

The Wizis all about feeling.

The musical is designed to uplift.
