Grosh Backdrops and Draperys stage backdrops for The Wiz include those portraying the golden cornfields of Kansas, the colorful villages of Munchkinland, and the glittering structures of Emerald City.
The Wiz premiered at the Morris A. Mechanic Theatre in Baltimore, Maryland in October 1974 and debuted on Broadway in January 1975. This latter Broadway production won seven Tony Awards, including Best Musical. Since then, it has seen several revivals in the United States, the United Kingdom, and the Netherlands.
The Wiz largely follows the story the 1939 musical fantasy film The Wizard of Oz, produced by MGM. Fully titled The Wiz: The Super Soul Musical Wonderful Wizard of Oz, the musical tells the story of Dorothy Gale and her dog, Toto, who are magically transported to the magical land of Oz after getting caught in a colorful tornado of ballet dancers. Her houses violent landing kills the Wicked Witch of the East, which triggers a celebration among the Munchkins and the other inhabitants of Oz. When she asks how she could go back to Kansas, Dorothy is told by the Munchkins to look for the powerful Wiz.
