Updates: Doug got to see The Wiz pre-Broadway premiere. His review: “So much fun! I've never seen an audience so into a show. It's half play half party. There were a ton of standing ovations DURING the performance. Nichelle Lewis is a star in the making and Melody Betts is a supernova. If you think theater should be stuffy and serious, though, skip this one.”
