The WIZ Movie Party
January 16, 2018 7:00PM - 9:00PM at House of Wax
Come ease on down the road with us at this all-singing, all-dancing, all-interactive celebration the ‘70s most undersung musical!
In this super soul reimagining of L. Frank Baum’s classic children’s tale, Dorothy is now a shy 24-year-old Harlem kindergarten teacher played by Diana Ross. A snowstorm transports her to the mysterious Land of Oz, presented here as sprawling a dream version of New York City. What follows is a Motown musical adventure too bonkers even by 1978 standards, featuring a cast of all-time greats like the King of Pop himself, Michael Jackson, Lena Horne and Richard Pryor(!), just to name the headliners.
THE WIZ is about as original and crazy fun as they come, and we’re going kick that fun right up over the rainbow with themed props to bring the magic and the music to life inside the theater, plus other fun and surprise we’re keeping behind the magic curtain until showtime. Dancing at your seat and in the aisles is downright mandatory.
