The Wiz at Proctors Theatre

North American Tour 2026-2027

Nobody can resist a good story. But there is a very clear distinction between an everyday kind of story and a story that has you on your toes from the get-go.

We're talking about a story that will sends tingles down your spine!

It curls up between your ribs, and you'll carry it with you for years to come - The Wiz's backbone is exactly this kind of story.

Bring into the fold an insanely talented all-star cast featuring Dana Cimone as Dorothy, Alan Mingo Jr. as The Wiz, Sheherazade as Glinda, and Kyla Jade as Aunt Em/Evillene - performers who know a thing or two about characterization, knows how to embody, oozes energy and chemistry you can cut with a knife, and how to captivate the audience with total ease - and you have a winning combination, and are well on the way to a theatrical experience unlike any other. And let's be honest, it's a rarity to come across performers who know how to command the stage quite like the cast of The Wiz - it's that 'all or nothing' kind of stuff that top-tier artistry is made of.

Also contributing to the major success of The Wiz, is the exceptional choreography by JaQuel Knight that is delivered with flawlessness and in perfect combination; the mind-blowing razzle dazzle of all the special effects coming together like wonderful spell cast right in front of your eyes; the breathtaking lighting design; the carefully handcrafted costumes; the incredible scenery, and the sensational vocal prowess of the cast belting-out one show-tune after the next, from iconic numbers like "Ease on Down the Road" to the powerful "Home."

In short, The Wiz is truly a enjoyable Musical that is rising like a colossus above the rest. And at the helm of it all, stands a visionary, internationally acclaimed creative team including director Schele Williams and additional material by Amber Ruffin who has truly created the ultimate live theatre experience - and this winter this Broadway magic is coming to you, Schenectady, as part of the North American Tour 2026-2027!

And for the final touch - the Proctors Theatre is the absolute icing on the cake!
