Tratto dall' omonimo musical di Broadway del , il film fu candidato al Premio Oscar come " Migliore colonna sonora ", " Migliore scenografia ", " Migliore fotografia " e " Migliori costumi ".
Una sera, dopo la cena del ringraziamento , Toto scappa fuori di casa inseguito da Dorothy, ma proprio in quel momento si scatena una tormenta di neve.
Un piccolo ciclone cattura Dorothy e Toto. Durante il volo Dorothy infrange una scritta elettrica che riporta la dicitura "OZ" e precipita in uno strano luogo.
I graffiti di un muro blu si staccano, prendendo vita e forma umana: sono i Ghiottoni, che festeggiano la ragazza come un'eroina, siccome la "Z" che Dorothy ha fatto cadere ha stritolato la malvagia Strega dell'Est , che governava come una tiranna il luogo.
In quel momento fa anche la sua apparizione la buona Strega del Nord chiamata Miss One , che si congratula con Dorothy regalandole le scarpette d'argento della defunta megera.
Dorothy parte con Toto e durante il tragitto aiuta uno spaventapasseri Michael Jackson liberandolo da un gruppo di prepotenti corvi. Per la strada la coppia salva un buffo uomo fatto interamente di latta Nipsey Russell che lavorava in un luna park ed era stato abbandonato una volta arrugginito, oliandolo.
L'uomo di latta decide di unirsi a Dorothy e allo spaventapasseri per chiedere a Oz un cuore. Seguendo felici la Strada dei mattoni gialli, i tre si fermano davanti alla biblioteca pubblica di New York , incuriositi dalla statua di un leone che li fissa.
Da essa fuoriesce un vero leone ringhiante, il leone codardo Ted Ross , che in principio li attacca, ma poi viene spaventato da Toto e ammette di essere un grande vigliacco.
Il leone decide dunque di unirsi al trio per andare a chiedere a Oz del coraggio. La Strada dei mattoni gialli porta il gruppo anche in posti molto pericolosi, come una paurosa stazione metropolitana abitata da un malvagio vagabondo dotato di spaventosi pupazzi- Kalidah , fili elettrici assassini, colonne viventi e bidoni dell'immondizia dentati.
Il leone codardo sgomina i mostri salvando eroicamente i suoi amici, dimostrando un grande coraggio. Il gruppo arriva nel vicolo delle ragazze-papavero: Dorothy, il leone e Toto vengono mortalmente addormentati dal profumo velenoso delle creature, ma l'uomo di latta e lo spaventapasseri, immuni al veleno, traggono in salvo i tre, dopo di che l'uomo di latta inizia a piangere dalla disperazione e le sue lacrime risvegliano i suoi amici addormentati: nell'avventura ha dimostrato di saper amare.
Questi appare a loro sotto forma di una gigantesca testa di metallo e concede di esaudire i loro desideri a condizione che prima uccidano la malvagia Strega dell'Ovest.
Dorothy e gli altri partono quindi per dare la caccia alla strega, che sentendo il loro arrivo, manda le terribili scimmie volanti , dei centauri scimmieschi capaci di volare, a catturare il gruppo.
A missione compiuta, la strega fa segare lo spaventapasseri, stritola il corpo dell'uomo di latta con una pressa idraulica , tortura il leone e minaccia di ardere vivo Toto, per costringere Dorothy a cederle le scarpette d'argento.
Stopping to rest by a cornfield, she is startled when a scarecrow hanging on a pole strikes up a conversation with her "I Was Born on the Day Before Yesterday".
He tells her of his longing for brains so that he can be like other people, and she invites him to accompany her to see if the Wizard can help him.
The Yellow Brick Road leads them into a great forest where they discover a man made of tin , rusted solid.
They oil his joints "Slide Some Oil To Me" and he tells them how, to prevent him from marrying a servant girl, Evamean put a spell on his axe so that it began to cut off parts of his body.
Each time it happened, a tinsmith replaced each missing part with one made of tin until he was entirely made of it. The one thing the tinsmith forgot was a heart, and he has longed for one ever since.
Dorothy and the Scarecrow invite him on their journey to see the Wizard with the hope that he may give him one "Ease On Down the Road 2".
However, he is quickly revealed to be a coward hiding behind bravado as Dorothy stands up for her friends. When he learns where they are going, he apologizes and asks if he may accompany them to ask the Wizard for some courage.
They agree and the trio becomes a quartet "Ease On Down the Road 3" , but face a new danger when they are attacked by half-tiger, half-bear creatures called Kalidahs "Kalidah Battle".
After a great fight and harrowing escape, they stop by the road to rest. The Lion is embarrassed by his cowardice in the battle, but is comforted by Dorothy's kind words "Be a Lion".
Seeing a green glow in the distance, they continue their journey to the Emerald City, and wander into a field of poppies who blow opium dust on them.
Not being made of flesh, the Scarecrow and Tin Man are unaffected, but Dorothy and the Lion begin to become disoriented and drowsy. Dorothy recalls that the Munchkins warned her of these poppies, and runs from the field as fast as she can with the Scarecrow and Tin Man behind her.
The Lion is overcome by the dust and begins to hallucinate "Lion's Dream". He is dragged from the field and returned to his friends by the Field Mice who police the area.
Marching up to the gates of the Emerald City, they are met by the Gatekeeper who insists they must all be fitted with a pair of green tinted glasses that are locked on to prevent them being blinded by the dazzling sights.
They enter the city and look about in awe at the richly dressed people that inhabit it "Emerald City Ballet".
The haughty and condescending people laugh and ridicule this odd group for wanting to see the Wizard until they see that Dorothy is wearing Evamean's silver shoes.
They are promptly shown right into his palace. Once in the throne room, they are assaulted by a great show of lights, smoke, and pyrotechnics as the Wizard appears in several forms before them "So You Wanted To See the Wizard".
He agrees on one condition: they must kill Evillene, the Wicked Witch of the West. With their goals seeming further out of reach than ever before, they sink to the floor in tears.
Evillene rules over the yellow land of the west, enslaving its people, the Winkies. She is evil, power hungry, and ruthlessly determined to get her hands on her sister's silver shoes, so that she may increase her power and rule over all of Oz "Don't Nobody Bring Me No Bad News".
Receiving word of Dorothy and her friends approaching, she sends her Winged Monkeys to kill them "Funky Monkeys".
Catching up to them in the forest surrounding her castle, the monkeys dash the Tin Man against rocks until he falls apart, and rip the straw out of the Scarecrow, leaving both of them helpless.
Seeing Dorothy's silver shoes, however, they dare not harm her. Instead, they carry her to Evillene's castle along with the Lion.
While searching for a way to get the shoes from Dorothy, Evillene forces her and the Lion to do menial chores around her castle.
She takes delight in torturing the Lion before Dorothy, threatening to have him skinned unless she hands over the silver shoes. Angered by this, she picks up a bucket of water and throws it over Evillene, who melts until only her magic golden cap remains.
Returning to the Emerald City, they see the Wizard now a booming voice that seems to come from the very air. He reneges on his promise, and the Lion knocks over a screen in anger.
Behind it stands a bewildered man who claims to be the Wizard. He shows them the elaborate mechanical effects used to create his illusions, and tells them that he is really a balloonist from Omaha named Herman Smith who traveled to Oz by accident when his hot air balloon drifted off course.
The Ozians had never seen such a sight and proclaimed him Wizard. Not wanting to disappoint them, he assumed the role and had a great city built.
He then had everyone in it wear green glasses, and in time, they came to believe it was green. They remain unconvinced, so he creates physical symbols of their desires and they are satisfied.
He proposes that Dorothy can return to Kansas the way he came, and offers to pilot her in his hot air balloon. He addresses the citizens of the Emerald City in person for the first time in many years, telling them of his imminent journey, and leaving the Scarecrow in charge "Y'all Got It!
Just as his speech reaches its climax, the balloon comes free from its moorings and rises quickly into the air, taking Dorothy's hopes of getting home with it.
Just as the group despairs of finding help, Addaperle reappears in a flash of light, suggesting that Dorothy ask Glinda, the Good Witch of the South , for assistance.
She transports them to Glinda's castle in the red land of the south, where they are warmly welcomed and invited to rest after their many trials "A Rested Body Is a Rested Mind".
Glinda is a beautiful and gracious sorceress, surrounded by a court of pretty girls. She tells Dorothy that the silver shoes have always had the power to take her home, but like her friends, she needed to believe in their magic and in herself before it was possible "If You Believe".
She bids a tearful goodbye to her friends, and as their faces fade into the darkness, she thinks about what she has gained, lost, and learned throughout her journey through Oz " Home ".
Clicking her heels together three times, she finds herself transported back to Kansas in an instant. As an overjoyed Aunt Em and Toto appear, and she runs to hug them, she knows that she is back home at last "Finale".
Motown Productions acquired the film rights to The Wiz in and signed Stephanie Mills in anticipation of having her star as Dorothy in the film adaptation.
Motown singer and actress Diana Ross asked Motown CEO Berry Gordy to cast her instead, but he declined, feeling that the thenyear-old Ross was far too old for the part.
However, she contacted Rob Cohen of Universal Pictures , who offered to have them finance the film if she were to play Dorothy, at which point he acquiesced.
Sidney Lumet served as director, working with screenwriter Joel Schumacher who used none of Brown's stage script and music supervisor Quincy Jones.
The film was a critical and commercial failure, performing poorly at the box office and severely panned by critics, who branded the casting of Ross instead of Mills as Dorothy a disastrous blunder.
The project fell through due to Universal still having the film rights to adaptations of The Wiz , and the production was shelved. Blige was confirmed to play the role of Evillene.
The song "Wonder, Wonder, Why" was added for the Broadway revival, but is not part of the current licensed score. In his review of the revival, Frank Rich wrote: "What made The Wiz surprisingly moving the first time around was that its creators found a connection between Baum's Kansas fantasy and the pride of urban black Americans.
When Glinda, the good witch, musically instructed Dorothy to 'believe in herself,' she seemed to be delivering a broader inspirational message.
The Wiz was hardly a great musical in , but it had something to say, and it said it with verve and integrity.
It's depressing to watch a once-fervent expression of black self-respect and talent be spilled on the stage as if it were a trunkload of marked-down, damaged goods.
In their review of the La Jolla production, Variety wrote: "'The Wiz' remains a collage of contemporary slang and imagery, but La Jolla's is a multicultural collage in which Baum's themes speak to the broadest possible audience.
Unquestionably, the humor and the heartbeat of the piece remain African-American at their source, but the overall effect is pluralistic and inclusive.
In the truest and most positive sense of the phrase, McAnuff's show is color-blind. Every alteration from the original, inspired by the central multicultural concept, is salutary.
Brown's almost wholly rewritten script is tart and funny at last. Smalls' score—supervised by musical director Ron Melrose and original orchestrator Harold Wheeler—sounds fresh and contemporary".
While well received, the album omits several key songs from the musical that were not recorded for the album- such as the show's overture, dance and accompaniment music.
I don't have that myself, and celebrate holidays alone. The film has some great musical numbers and the costumes are quite creative.
The lead actress, Diana Ross, brings out emotion through song. She will be one to follow and watch in other films and music.
I saw this in my teens and twenty years later it is more magical. I Got this to show to my daughter before we went and saw the kids version of this play.
And of course who is it going to wanna watch an awesome movie with the young Michael Jackson and Diana Ross!?!
The music is killer too! I know there are plenty of other I know there are plenty of other good movies, but this is one from my childhood and I just love it!
The music, the singing, the dancing - there's never been another movie quiet like it with a cast quite like it - and never will be!
It was about as fun to watch as being beaten with a sock full of quarters. I understand the premise, I understand the reason, would've stopped watching it if not for the King of Pop's character development.
Maybe a younger crowd would appreciate it more. Stella Carrier Top Contributor: Writing. The Wiz film is very uplifting to watch and I am very glad to have watched it.
Diana Ross plays a very moving and heartfelt role as Dorothy. The character of Dorothy in this film ends up on an adventure that changes her and those in her life whose path she crosses such as the Scarecrow character played by Michael Jackson.
When you have a lineup like the Yankees, you expect a championship. This movie was a total flop so unless you are a rabid MJ fan it is not worth the time.
Prior to the other day, I had seen The Wiz just once- in the theater in Strangely, this movie never surfaced in all of the years that followed.
Some 35 years later, I decided to purchase this movie, and I have no regrets, as it's a refreshing, humorous, and very artful version of L.
Frank Baum's original novel. Here, the setting is the big city, and the characters are very interesting. I thought that Michael Jackson did an excellent job as the Scarecrow, as did Nipsey Russell as the Tin Man, who was hilarious at times.
I was somewhat surprised at the inferior costume for the Lion; the Wizard of Oz Lion costume was way better and of higher quality. As for Dorothy I had no problem with Diana Ross playing the character though a tad old , but was astonished at the bland and boring wardrobe chosen for her.
It made Judy Garland's wardrobe look fashionable. Again, whatever. However, this movie has way more pluses than minuses.
The music and dancing are excellent, and the physical settings actually have a certain darkness to them cloudy scenes, as well as nighttime scenes.
The Wiz is the perfect Saturday matinee for family and friends.
I love the message. Outstanding Musical. The later highlights Wm Streamen as The Experiment King's performance as Evillene and Lena Horne's performance as Glinda fade into the obscurity that the film has inflicted upon itself.
