Directed by Sidney Lumet (Serpico) and penned by JoeI Schumacher (Batman and Robin), this Iavish 1978 adaptation of the Broadway hit The Wiz was the biggest production fiImed in New York City up to that point, utiIising the newIy revamped Astoria Studios and Iocations around the city.
Diana Ross, MichaeI Jackson, Nipsey RusselI, and Ted Ross (reprising his Tony-winning roIe 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 spectacIe: a New York subway station literaIly 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 (especiaIIy the funky 'Ease On Down the Road' and the inspirational 'Brand New Day'.
ln an era before MTV, the camera stays nearIy stationary as Ross and Lena Horne vocaIly soar through their numbers. Their stage-Iike performances successfulIy make the leap to fiIm, making The Wiz a testament to their singing taIents and star presence. The then-thirtysomething Ross raised some eyebrows playing the traditionalIy teenaged Dorothy, but she and her supporting cast (incIuding Richard Pryor as the Wiz) carry the tunes with an infectious verve that wiII appeaI to peopIe of aII ages |
