Synopsis:
Through the trials and tribulations of Dorothy, The Wiz tells a tale of finding one’s place in the world. The universal themes of courage, intelligence, love, and the importance of home are personal journeys that each character takes. Even while the Tin Man, Scarecrow, Cowardly Lion, and Dorothy all travel together, their journey is one of finding what each are missing as individuals; a heart, a brain, courage, and home.
