Broadway-bound "The Wiz" musical revival is in the last stretch of its 13-city tour, with three weeks of performances at the Hollywood Pantages Theatre in Los Angeles until March.
A new revival of "The Wiz," featuring Wayne Brady and the hits "Ease on Down the Road" and "Home," opens at the Hollywood Pantages before its Broadway run.
Musicals have come to follow a Broadway run with a national tour. 'The Wiz,' starting Tuesday at the Pantages, is doing the opposite and the strategy is paying off.
