  1. Oi!

    Have any of y'all watched The Wiz recently? (Movie version)

    It's been decades since I last watched it start to finish.

    It still holds up.

    It's really interesting watching it with a shit ton of writing and art experience acquired since.

  6. There doesn’t seem to be any other similarities other than being set in NYC and the musical contributions of Stephen Schwartz but “Godspell” (1973) and “The Wiz” (1978) always have very similar vibes to me

  7. “if you’re listening, God, please don’t make it hard to know if we should believe the things that we see

    Tell us: should we run away? Should we try and stay? or would it just be better just to let things be?”

    this line from Dorothy‘s headline song “home” from “The Wiz” never really resonated with me … until recently

    now, I think about it all the time

  8. #Movies . . .

    Currently re-watching the original #WizardOfOz (1939) starring #Jud6Garland, which was released 86 yrs ago, for the umpteeth time, which (for me) never gets old & it's still better IMO 4hat all of the later the variations, including but not limited to #TheWiz & #Wicked 1& 2.

  9. #TheWiz: great show, great dancing, good music, but only one tune

    Which will be stuck in my head for the foreseeable future

  10. I post a lot of cat pix, you may have noticed, but we are not averse to dogs in the family. Say hello to Wizard the Scottish deerhound.

  11. #thewiz lookie what i found at the 2nd hand shop.. .

  12. ..oh, random #reminder cos i heard some fear mongering in the streets..

    remember #comrades the increase in talks of the doom and destruction to come is only the constructed narrative of #thewiz masters ....and is ONLY a projection of their own fears...they know their end is neigh and try to weaken resolve with end of worlds "you'll pay for this, meddling kids!" monologuing bs ...

    ...i thinks that's called the extinction gasp?...

    #rise for it is finally the end of the era of masters! #resist

  13. The Original Wiz on Broadway was none other than Tony, Emmy and Grammy award winner André De Shields (youtu.be/EmflHWNkzeA?si=RjXBZz) who is both still with us and performing at 79 years young

  15. hEY SO uhh Hey so are we doing this #TheWiz watch party today or what?

  16. Called Service Desk for help. Watched him map two network drives for me, no password needed. I said "I could have done this by myself, all along?" & he said Yes, no admin password needed; anything else? I said "No, I feel like #Dorothy at the end of the movie!" & we laughed.

  19. I'm in a show tunes mood today. I heard about the new Wiz on Broadway and it's amazing. Well at least the soundtrack is. AND WAYNE BRADY IS THE WIZ!

  20. I’m a huge fan of Sidney Lumet’s 1978 film “The Wiz.” It’s an adaptation of The Wizard of Oz, reimagined from deep in Harlem.

    The music is unstoppable. Especially Charlie Smalls’ tracks.

    Almost 50 years later, a revival Broadway cast visited NPR to share their version. And it’s fire.

  22. The #Broadway-bound revival of #TheWiz has finally found its Dorothy. Virginia native #NichelleLewis has been cast in the role after being discovered on TikTok among 2,000 submissions. The tour will launch at Baltimore's #HippodromeTheatre on September 23 with #DeborahCox in the role of Glinda and #AlanMingoJr as The Wiz (#WayneBrady will take over on Broadway).

  23. in the discussion of #BlackHorror, i never hear anyone mention "the wiz"! but there were things in that movie that scarred my little kid self! here is one particularly memorable scene, which felt very relatable to me as a city kid who used the subway.

  24. A new revival of #TheWiz is hitting the road this Fall, premiering in #Baltimore in September and strolling the Yellow Brick Road all the way to #Broadway next Spring.
