I've been on the topic of musicals lately and one of my all time favorites comes to mind. THE WIZ! I love The Wiz. It is a musical that was adapted from The Wizard of Oz that features an all star studded African American cast. The cast featured Diana Ross, Michael Jackson, Nipsey Russell, and Ted Ross just to name a few. I like the film because it was something I could relate to. I love The Wizard of Oz as well, but The Wiz had people that looked like me in it. As a child that grabbed my attention and from then on out I feel in love with it. I like the songs in the movie. I caught myself singing them sometimes even today.
I love Diana Ross and Michael Jackson so it made it easy for me to watch. The movie also starred Lena Horne( whom is one of my sorority sisters), and Richard Pryor, both of who are legends in their craft. The Wiz is a film for people of all ages and color and I think you should watch it as soon as you get a chance!
Here is one of my favorite scenes from the movie The Wiz
