The Wiz isn’t just a show—it’s a whole vibe, a whole cultural reset that still lives in us. It’s that soul, that sound, that Black magic that took a classic and made it feel like home for real. For so many of us, it was the first time we saw ourselves in the story—not on the sidelines, but right at the center—with flavor, rhythm, and truth. And even now, it still hits the same… reminding us that everything we’ve been looking for has been inside us the whole time!
LISTEN NOW: Midday Shenanigans Wit Poe - Elijah Ahmad Lewis
So of course we had to tap in with one of the stars bringing that magic to life, Elijah Ahmad Lewis—our Scarecrow—who pulled up on Audacy DC’s Poet for some Midday Shenanigans to spill all things The Wiz as it continues blessing stages across the country on its 50th Anniversary Tour, celebrating that legendary Broadway debut from January 5, 1978.
And don’t play yourself—make sure you’re tapped in with Midday Shenanigans Wit Poe every weekday at 10AM ET on Audacy, iHeartRadio, and TuneIn… so you never miss a thing, Village! Follow Poe on across socials @JustCuriousPoe
