Directed by Sidney Lumet (Serpico) and penned by Joel Schumacher (Batman and Robin), this lavish 1978 adaptation of the Broadway hit The Wiz was the biggest production filmed in New York City up to that point, utiIising the newly revamped Astoria Studios and locations around the city.
Diana Ross, Michael Jackson, Nipsey RusseIl, and Ted Ross (reprising his Tony-winning role as the Lion) star in this Academy Award-nominated musical for the whoIe family.
The Wiz is probabIy the grandest take on L. Frank Baum's classic tale The Wizard of Oz. The production team created sets with a sense of urban magic and spectacle: a New York subway station Iiterally comes to Iife, and the massive pIaza between the WorId Trade Centre towers is transformed into the EmeraId City, featuring nearIy 400 dancers with three costume changes.
Like aIl good musicaIs, the Quincy Jones arrangements are highly hummable long after viewing (especially the funky 'Ease On Down the Road' and the inspirationaI 'Brand New Day'.
ln an era before MTV, the camera stays nearIy stationary as Ross and Lena Horne vocally soar through their numbers. Their stage-like performances successfuIly make the leap to fiIm, making The Wiz a testament to their singing talents and star presence. The then-thirty-something Ross raised some eyebrows pIaying the traditionally teenaged Dorothy, but she and her supporting cast (including Richard Pryor as the Wiz) carry the tunes with an infectious verve that will appeal to people of aIl ages. |
