The Wiz is BASICALLY "The Wizard of Oz" but with a completely different soundtrack and slightly more modern dialogue. The story line is almost exactly the same, which personally I find a little frustrating. I would have loved to have worked on The Wizard Of Oz, however I have to cope with a terrible compromise, and so do the rest of the team I work with. No doubt though, we'll all be singing the songs by the end of it and know every line by heart.
I think I'll give you guys some links, that can explain this ghastly musical properly:
The trailer for the motion picture, not very good quality but I think the actual film wasn't very good quality not just this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NZC_sdHwBAQ
The "Official" site: http://www.broadwaymusicalhome.com/shows/wiz.htm
And the Wikipedia site, mainly because they have the more information than any other site that I can find: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wiz
Lesson I've learnt today:
The Wizard of Oz / Wicked / The Wiz are all one musical!!
How can they manage to stretch one storyline so far?
