Additional Instructions:

For consideration, submit a headshot, resume and audition video (Dropbox, or Google Drive Link) at: https://tinyurl.com/THEWIZECCDANCERS2022 . Submission deadline is Dec. 16 (6 p.m./ET). Video audition instructions: Prepare the combination found through the following link: https://tinyurl.com/THEWIZECCDANCERSMATERIAL2022 . Include a full-body slate at the beginning of talent's video. A note regarding self-tape quality: Film the audition in front of a clean background, with no backlighting. As much as possible, limit ambient noise including air conditioners and other electronics. Production recommends talent does not use Bluetooth headphones, as it can sometimes cause a delay in the audio. Use a secondary audio source to play the accompaniment music so that it is audible in the tape. Note: In-Person auditions Jan. 4-22, 2023. Based on Lyman Frank Baum’s children’s book, “The Wonderful Wizard of Oz”, The Wiz takes one of the world’s most enduring (and enduringly white) American fantasies and transforms it into an all-Black musical extravaganza for the ages.
