“The Wiz Broadway”
November 22, 2025 @ 2:00 pm – 5:00 pm
Omaha Performing Arts presents “The Wiz Broadway” at the Orpheum Theater from Nov. 18-23. Performances are Tuesday through Friday at 7:30 p.m., Saturday at 2 and 7:30 p.m., and Sunday at 1 and 6:30 p.m. Tickets start at $43.
Synopsis: This all-new Broadway tour is the first one in 40 years. This groundbreaking twist on The Wizard of Oz changed the face of Broadway—from its iconic score packed with soul, gospel, rock, and 70s funk to its stirring tale of Dorothy’s journey to find her place in a contemporary world.
With direction by Schele Williams (“The Notebook,” revival of Disney’s “Aida”), choreography by JaQuel Knight (Beyoncé’s “Single Ladies,” Black Is King) and additional material by Tony-nominated and Emmy-nominated writer and TV host Amber Ruffin (“The Amber Ruffin Show,” “Late Night with Seth Meyers”), this dynamite infusion of ballet, jazz, and modern pop brings a whole new groove to easing on down the road.
