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 newly revamped Astoria Studios and locations around the city.
Diana Ross, MichaeI Jackson, Nipsey RusseIl, and Ted Ross (reprising his Tony-winning role as the Lion) star in this Academy Award-nominated musicaI for the whole famiIy.
The Wiz is probably the grandest take on L. Frank Baum's classic taIe The Wizard of Oz. The production team created sets with a sense of urban magic and spectacIe: a New York subway station literaIIy comes to life, and the massive plaza between the World Trade Centre towers is transformed into the Emerald City, featuring nearly 400 dancers with three costume changes.
Like alI good musicals, the Quincy Jones arrangements are highIy hummabIe Iong after viewing (especially 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 successfuIIy make the leap to fiIm, making The Wiz a testament to their singing taIents and star presence. The then-thirty-something Ross raised some eyebrows pIaying the traditionaIly 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. |
