The
buzzy
Atlanta
premiere
comes
after
the

RHOA
star/media
mogul
announced
that
her
and
husband

Todd
Tucker
were
joining
the
producing
team
for

The
WIZ
currently
selling
out
venues
on
its
Pre-Broadway
National
Tour.

“We
are
thrilled
to
be
part
of The
Wiz,”
said
Burruss
and
Tucker
in
a
statement.
“The
songs,
choreography,
costumes,
everything
about The
Wiz is
epic!

We
have
always
said
we
want
to
help
open
the
doors
of
theatre
to
all
people.
Theatre
has
the
power
to
influence
and
inspire
people
to
create
change
through
art,
and
that
is
what
we
all
need
now.

Art
can
heal
and
art
can
change
you.
It
has
changed
us.
So,
come
on
and
ease
on
down
the
road
with
us!”

The
thriving
producing
team
previously
nabbed
a
2023
Tony
nomination
for
their
work
on
the
hit
Broadway
revival
of

August
Wilson‘s

The
Piano
Lesson.

“I’m
overjoyed
right
now.
This
is
kind
of
unbelievable,”
said
Burruss
about
the
nomination
in
an

interview
with

The
Hollywood
Reporter.

“You
know
how
you’ve
been
speaking
things
into
existence
in
your
life
and
praying
for
it
and
doing
all
that.
But
when
it
actually
starts
happening
in
a
major
way,
you’re
almost
like,
‘Whoa,
is
this
happening?’”
