The Wiz
We're not in Kansas anymore with this groovy R&B retelling of the classic L. Frank Baum story
The Wonderful Wizard of Oz.
This time Diana Ross dons Dorothy's special shoes (disco ball silver) and Michael Jackson is the ultimate singing scarecrow as they "Ease on Down the Road" to visit The Wiz (Richard Pryor).
Nominated in four categories for the 1978 Academy Awards: Best Art Direction, Best Cinematography, Best Costume Design and Best Original Song Score and its Adaptation or Adaptation Score (Quincy Jones).
Recommended for slightly older children.
