Caught most of the TV version last night.
Saw the road show back in the day.
Have listened to the movie soundtrack.
Remember when Easy On Down The Road was on the radio.
How do strutters rate this?
Which was best theater; Broadway, Hollywood, TV?
Which was best music?

I saw the play in the 70's w/ Stephanie Mills. My pops introduced me to the dude who play the Lion in the play/film.
B'Way Soundtrack has Dee Dee Bridgewater as Glinda.
The Motown Film is excellent and one of the shining examples of African American Fantasy, which is a raer genre.
You Cant Win is MJ's first official single on Epic. Got the '45.
Went to see the recent Off-Bway Play the evening MJ passed away. Special moment shit. Tichina Arnold killed the Wicked Witch.
White folks that can handle another version of the the Wizard of OZ need to fall back. Its a fuckin' book w/ many interpretations.
The Wiz is its own brand. The same way Oz and Wicked are legit spin-offs.
Quincy Jones Film Gatefold Soundtrack > Play Soundtrack.
Hollywood - collard greens w bacon
