Schele Williams is reviving 'The Wiz' on Broadway, a show that inspired her in her youth.

Williams is the first Black woman in 50 years to direct a Broadway musical with her work on 'The Notebook.'

Her direction of 'The Wiz' aims to honor its legacy while updating it for modern audiences, focusing on storytelling and a strong creative team.

The production of 'The Wiz' will feature minimal but symbolically rich scenery, showcasing Black culture and history.

Williams is committed to portraying authentic narratives without making them solely about racial issues.

Additionally, Williams is involved in the return of the musical 'Aida' to Broadway after a 25-year absence.
