Ooh, somebody got their dates wrong. 2023 does not mark the 50th anniversary of The Wiz.
The Wiz premiered on October 21, 1974, in Baltimore. It opened on Broadway in January 1975.

Maybe it’s the anniversary of the first draft being completed? lol

Maybe this is the only time they can get all of these people together. So celebrating a year ahead. I am ok with that!

It also says it's to celebrate the 80th birthday of Charlie Smalls, which is indeed on October 25th of this year.

But why call it the 50th anniversary when it isn’t?

The same reason the 50th Anniversary Celebration at Walt Disney World has been running a year and a half now; marketing. It's close enough that saying 50th Anniversary/80th Birthday Celebration sounds better than 49th Anniversary/80th Birthday Celebration. The larger majority of the ticket buying public won't know or care about the 1 year difference.

Cannot wait!!! I unfortunately missed out on the 40th celebration so I am very excited for this.
I am big. It’s the REVIVALS that got small.
