The Wiz

In this very updated version of the well beloved children’s classic “ The Wizard of Oz,” movie watchers are transported to a world of music, neat special effects, eye-popping costumes, and a fantastic retelling of the tale of the wonderful wizard of Oz. “The Wiz” is one of the best African American musicals ever made because it has a great cast of actors and actresses, it has hidden symbolism that relates to African American life, …

…the music, the dancing, and the emotion all add to the underlying message of the movie. I think this movie is a must see for all ages and cultures. It is a powerful movie that portrays African American life, both good and bad aspects, in a soulful, magical way. This musical is one of the best I’ve ever seen and I recommend it to anyone who appreciates good music, culture, and just plain inspiration!
