Rare “The Wiz” movie maquettes to grab in auction

With “The Wiz” coming back in the cinema and the biopic coming in 2026 (maybe), the urge to find new collectable related to Michael Jackson and “The Wiz” is getting bigger!

Our May 16 Hollywood/Entertainment Signature Auction celebrates the extraordinary legacy of Tony Walton, the visionary designer behind some of the most iconic productions in film and theater. This single-consignor sale features original costume and set design artwork, maquettes, and production pieces from titles including Mary Poppins, The Wiz, A Christmas Carol, and The Boy Friend.
