Wayne Brady, The Wiz & San Francisco, oh my!: A beloved musical returns

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.
