Everybody look around! The Tony Award^®-winning Best Musical that took the world by storm is back and coming to Greenville. 

An all-new production of the groundbreaking musical The Wiz returns “home” to stages across America on a limited Pre-Broadway tour.

This revolutionary musical, adapted from The Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum, changed the face of Broadway—from its iconic score packed with soul, gospel, rock, and 70s funk to its stirring tale of Dorothy’s journey to find her place in a contemporary world. A dynamite infusion of ballet, jazz, and modern pop brings a whole new groove to easing on down the road.

The extraordinary cast features Alan Mingo, Jr. (“Doom Patrol,” Kinky Boots) as The Wiz, award-winning recording artist Deborah Cox as Glinda, Melody Betts as Aunt Em and Evillene, Kyle Ramar Freeman (A Strange Loop) as the Lion, Phillip Johnson Richardson (Sharper, A24) as the Tinman, and Avery Wilson (On Top of the World, Studio Album) as the Scarecrow. Nichelle Lewis(Hairspray National Tour) makes a star-turn Broadway debut as Dorothy.

Oz has been reimagined by a star studded creative team, led by director Schele Williams (Broadway’s upcoming The Notebook, revival of Disney’s Aida), choreographer JaQuel Knight (Beyoncé’s ‘Single Ladies’, Black is King), scenic design by Academy Award ®-winning Hannah Beachler (Black Panther, Beyoncé’s Black is King and Lemonade), costume design by Emmy Award®-winning and two-time Academy Award®-nominated Sharen Davis (Ray, Dreamgirls), lighting design by Barrymore Award-winning Ryan J. O’Gara (Thoughts of a Colored Man), sound design by Jon Weston (Parade), projection design by Daniel Brodie (Motown the Musical), and wig design by Charles LaPointe (MJ the Musical). Amber Ruffin (“The Amber Ruffin Show,” “Late Night with Seth Meyers”) pens additional material for William F. Brown’s trailblazing book. Charlie Smalls’ Tony Award®-winning score features iconic hits “Ease on Down the Road,” “Home,” and Luther Vandross’ “Everybody Rejoice,” with new musical moments from Joseph Joubert (music supervision, orchestrations, & music arrangements), Allen René Louis (vocal arrangements, music arrangements), and an Emerald Ballet composed by Timothy Graphenreed.

The Wiz runs approximately 2 hours and 20 minutes, including intermission.

The church and churchyard (cemetery) tours are sponsored by the St. John Episcopal Church
Docents. They will begin inside the Carriage Door entrance of the church. Reverend Josh
Stephens said, “The response has been overwhelming since we resumed tours last year to
learn about this historic church and churchyard. Beginning in 1836 and to this day, a vibrant
congregation has welcomed all to come to this sacred place and share in the story of St. John
in the Wilderness.”
The tours are free but advance reservations must be made online through the church’s
website, www.stjohnflatrock.org/tours.  Space is limited for each tour.
The guided tours will be held the third Saturdays in November and December.
They begin promptly at 11 a.m. and last about an hour. Participants are encouraged to wear
comfortable shoes. There will be no rain dates.
The historically significant churchyard contains graves of un-named 19th century people who
were enslaved as well as distinguished political figures, and local citizens.
The church is located at 1895 Greenville Highway. For more information call the church
office at 828-693-9783 or visit www.stjohnflatrock.org.

In 1827, Charles Baring, a member of the Baring banking family of England, built a home in
Flat Rock. He and his wife, Susan, wanted a summer place to escape the oppressive heat,
humidity, and malaria of the South Carolina Lowcountry where they lived.
The Barings built a chapel on the property of their newly constructed home. Soon after it was
built the small wooden structure burned down in a woods fire. In 1833 work began on a
second church built of handmade brick.
In August of 1836 the Barings deeded their chapel to the Diocese of North Carolina and 20
members of the Flat Rock “summer colony” formed themselves into an Episcopal parish. In
the 1890s when the Missionary District of Asheville (later Diocese of Western North
Carolina) was formed, St. John in the Wilderness transferred its affiliation. It is the oldest
parish in the diocese.
With almost all the church members traveling back to the Lowcountry after the summer
season, the church mainly operated during summer months for its first 120 years. So rapid
was the growth of the Flat Rock community during the 1830s and 1840s that the parish
membership outgrew the capacity of the small chapel. In the early 1850s the decision was
made to rebuild the church, essentially doubling its size. With only a few minor modifications
the structure was completed in 1852. It is the one that stands today.
