This week we're celebrating Black History Month with a musical so groundbreaking, it has a tornado! Broadway legend (AIN'T MISBEHAVIN, CATS), and Cowardly Lion, Ken Page joins us to discuss the history, artistry, and sheer belief that brought about the musical THE WIZ. Join us to hear how these familiar characters from Oz provided musical theatre with insight into the Black experience that has entertained audiences ever since. And if that's not enough, you'll also hear about the time Ken met Streisand.
Buy tickets to see Ken in his one man show There's So Much To Talk About at 54 Below on May 4th, 2022!
