Decades after Judy Garland travelled the yellow brick road, and decades before Ariana and Cynthia defied gravity, ‘The Wizard of Oz’ is transported from Kansas to Harlem in The Wiz.
The film features an all-star African-American cast lead by Diana Ross as Dorothy, and Michael Jackson as the Scarecrow.
Despite a cool reception upon its release, this extravagant urban retelling, infused with disco, soul, and gospel musical magic, earned multiple Oscar nominations and has gone on to establish a firm cult status.
“…a sublimely happy moviegoing experience.” – Washington Post
