Winner of the Tony Award for Best Musical, The Wiz returns “home” to stages across America in an all-new tour. 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.

ASL, audio description, and closed captions will be available for the Sunday 2:00 p.m. performance. Contact Paris Young at [email protected] or call (319) 467-4849 with questions.
