The Wiz

Aurora Fox Arts Center
9900 E. Colfax Avenue Aurora

How wonderful is The Wiz? The winner of seven Tony Awards, including Best Musical, this Broadway sensation has inspired numerous revivals and a beloved movie starring Diana Ross and Michael Jackson. Now the magic continues with Ignite Theatre's production at the Aurora Fox Arts Center. A modern take on L. Frank Baum's The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, The Wiz combines fairy-tale glamour with street-wise soul to form a mysterious and fanciful fantasy for today. With a lively mix of rock, gospel and soul tunes, this production features a score full of beloved hits like "Ease on Down the Road," "A Brand New Day" and "Home."
