The musical The Wiz broke ground in 1975, changing the face of Broadway. Now, almost 50 years later, it’s back on stage with its first limited run, Broadway-bound tour in 40 years, with a run at San Francisco’s Golden Gate Theatre in early 2024. 

In this episode of Bay Current, KCBS Radio reporter Megan Goldsby had the chance to sit down and chat with a few of the very well-known folks bringing the story to life across the country: Wayne Brady, who will portray the Wiz, lead producer Brian Moreland and comedian Amber Ruffin, who wrote additional materials for this run.
