Kandi Burruss and Todd Tucker are headed to Broadway! Tucker and Burruss will reportedly help produce an upcoming production of The Wiz. The duo will work alongside fellow producers Kristin Caskey, Mike Isaacson and Brian Anthony Moreland. The production will also feature a Tony Award-winning score from Charlie Smalls and JaQuel Knight will offer choreography. Not to be forgotten, Amber Ruffin, Joseph Joubert and Allen René Louis will work on the Schele Williams-directed production.
“The songs, choreography, costumes, everything about The Wiz is epic,” Burruss and Tucker told Shadow & Act.
“We have always said we want to help open the doors of theatre to all people. Theatre has the power to influence and inspire people to create change through art, and that is what we all need now. Art can heal and art can change you. It has changed us. So, come on and ease on down the road with us!”
The award-winning musical will reportedly debut in Baltimore, Maryland in September before embarking on a national tour. The production will eventually find its way to the big stage on Broadway in 2024.
