40 Years of 'The Wiz': Music Times Chooses Five Classic Scenes from The Film Adaptation, Starring Diana Ross and Michael Jackson
We're not Broadway people but we know a classic when we see it, and The Wiz is classic. The idea of adapting a cinematic masterpiece such as The Wizard of Oz into a new musical—set far from the rural lands of the original in the urban streets of New York City—could have fallen flat but William F. Brown's play was anything but. We hope that the musical gets a Broadway revival (the last attempt, during 2004, was abandoned) but until then the best way to check out The Wiz is via the 1978 film version starring Diana Ross, Michael Jackson, Richard Pryor and more. We've whittled down a short list of our favorite scenes from that film to celebrate the play's 40th anniversary.
