After nearly 50 years, 'The Wiz' has made a return to Broadway with a revival that features high-energy performances. The musical, a Black take on 'The Wizard of Oz,' aims to update its original formula, but some critics note issues behind the scenes. Wayne Brady stars as The Wiz, emphasizing that the show is more than just a Black version of the classic. Notably, the absence of Toto in the production has sparked mixed reactions among audiences and reviewers.
