The classic soul, funk musical, The Wiz. was produced at the Hackney Empire in 2000 by Andy Barnes, Jamie Hinde and John Brant for Fly Monkey.

The production was described as "seriously funky entertainment" by the Evening Standard and "sheer pizzazz" by Time Out, and was back at the same venue, by request, a year later.

The cast included Sharon D Clarke, Kat B, Ed Baruwa.
