Tara and EmKay continue their deep dive into the history of The Wiz: The Super Soul Musical "Wonderful Wizard of Oz" as it debuts at the Majestic Theatre on Broadway in 1975! Rabbit holes include the impact of the extensive advertising campaign, Stephen Sondheim's love of the production, an unnecessarily critical review from The New York Times, cast recordings and further national tours. Stay tuned for an unpacking of the road to the 1978 film  on Friday!
