I noticed a new show coming to London...dance oriented and 'referencing ' The Wiz'. Might be worth a look....
ZooNation’s Groove On Down The Road
A Southbank Centre commission
Created by Kate Prince
Southbank Centre’s Queen Elizabeth Hall, 10 August – 1 September 2013
We will be giving our unique twist to the classic story of The Wizard of Oz, which goes to the Queen Elizabeth Hall as part of Southbank Centre’s Festival of Neighbourhood with MasterCard.
Set in a fantastical urban world, ZooNation’s Groove On Down The Road tells the story of Dorothy and her adventures with Toto, Scarecrow, Tin Man and Lion on their journey to Oz. The audience join Dorothy, complete with ruby sneakers, and friends in this hip-hop dance production as they follow the yellow brick road in a quest to find happiness and family.
Written and directed by Kate Prince and commissioned by Southbank Centre, the production will include music from the 1978 film The Wiz, re-mixed with current hits by DJ Walde. The Wiz starred Michael Jackson and Diana Ross, with Quincy Jones overseeing the film’s music adaptation including the tracks Ease On Down The Road and You Can’t Win.
The film celebrates its 35th anniversary this year.
Tickets go on sale to Southbank Centre Members on 1st May and to the general public on 3rd May
