A mansion. A murder. A mystery.

Murder and blackmail are on the menu when six mysterious guests assemble at Boddy Manor for a night they’ll never forget! Was it Mrs. Peacock in the study with the knife? Or was it Colonel Mustard in the library with the wrench? Based on the fan-favorite 1985 Paramount Pictures movie and inspired by the classic Hasbro board game, Clue is the ultimate whodunit that will leave you dying of laughter and keep you guessing until the final twist.

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

THE WIZ returns “home” to stages across America in an all-new tour, direct from Broadway.

The Baltimore Sun raves “Powerhouse performances. Stunning choreography. Visionary sets” and the Chicago Sun-Times proclaims THE WIZ is “An eye-popping and high-intensity revival!”

This groundbreaking twist on The Wizard of Oz 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.

Based on L. 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.

THE WIZ premiered on Broadway in 1975 and became an instant sensation, going on to win seven Tony Awards including Best Musical, Best Original Score, Best Featured Actor in a Musical (Ted Ross), Best Featured Actress in a Musical (Dee Dee Bridgewater), Best Choreography (George Faison), and in a Broadway first, Best Direction of a Musical and Best Costume Design (Geoffrey Holder). “Ease on Down the Road” became the show’s break-out single, and “Home” has since become a bona fide classic. That original production ran for four years (first at The Majestic Theatre and later at The Broadway Theatre) – and 1,672 performances – on Broadway. A 1978 film adaptation starred Diana Ross, Ted Ross, Mabel King, Richard Pryor and Lena Horne, and marked Quincy Jones’ first collaboration with Michael Jackson.

Audience Advisory

THE WIZ is recommended for ages 8+.

THE WIZ runs approximately 2 hours and 20 minutes, including intermission.
This production uses haze, smoke and flashing lights.

Wakka Wakka Productions is a multi award-winning international theatre company based in New York City and Oslo. Since 2001, Wakka Wakka has been creating original works of theatre and touring extensively throughout the US and the world. Today, Wakka Wakka specializes in bold, unique and unpredictable puppet theatre, incorporating object manipulation, masks, and original music.

The world of this show is created based on Tales from the Crypt, Dante’s inferno and old Silly Symphonies cartoons.

As a species, our relationship with death has changed over time, from early humanity until the present day. In our lifetime, the birth and growth of AI, gene editing and bio-technology have all thrust us into new realities and ideas of what is possible. Science is now looking at resurrecting the extinct.

Dead as a Dodo engages with this new present, and the future that will come of it. In a mostly cartoonish way, it exposes our most basic fears and desires, wrestling with our need for love, our fight for survival, and our quest for immortality.

This event is presented by the College of Fine Art's annual Arts Alive! series.

The Muncie Makers Market is a retail business incubator presented to the public through a community farmers market with fresh homemade food, locally grown produce, live plants, and handmade arts of all kinds.
