Oh, my goodness. I loved this whole show. I was waiting for it. I loved the costumes, dancing, makeup, music, etc.
The original Wizard of Oz I think was a series of books written by L. Frank Baum. The first Wizard of Oz performance appeared on stage in the early 1900s. I do not know if a silent film or two was/were made later, but the Judy Garland version was made in the late 1930s.
I never saw the earlier The Wiz shows, neither stage nor screen, but I remember all of the excellent reports about Stephanie Mills, Diana Ross, Nipsey Russell and Michael Jackson.
I am very happy to see the recent The Wiz Live. I liked all the witches, Dorothy and her friends and Stephanie Mills. I just adored the closeup facial makeup designs of the scarecrow, and I feel that he and his antics stole the show. I loved the wiz's costuming, hair and makeup.
My most favorite group costumes were of the crows and poppies. Kudos to everyone. I loved you all. You were wonderful. Loved the acrobats (Cirque de Soleil?) For a live performance, everyone did excellently. 15/10.
