Plot summary
24-year-old kindergarten teacher Dorothy, born, raised, and still working in Harlem, is celebrating Thanksgiving with her extended family, but she doesn't seem to be thankful for much. She lives a sheltered life and is shy and unfulfilled. When she gets caught in a snowstorm while chasing her dog Toto, they're transported to the mysterious Land of Oz, where she's informed that the only way she can find her way home is through the assistance of the powerful wizard in the Emerald City. As she searches for him by easing down the Yellow Brick Road, she befriends some creatures who face problems in their lives. In their quest to find the wizard, they also face Evillene, the equally evil sister of Evermean, the wicked witch whom Dorothy inadvertently killed when she arrived in Oz; Evillene might be their biggest obstacle.

I could watch this every single day
The best musical ever created
The Wiz is an enchanting, mystical, magical, entrancing, and dystopian movie, with the best musical numbers I've ever seen in my life, the ending was perfect and every set piece was immaculate.
I am obsessed with The Wiz, and it gets an A+
Michael Jackson the only thing of note
To be perfectly honest, the best thing about this movie was Michael Jackson. Boy could he sing.
I had extremely fond memories of this movie but they belied me. Watching this movie again as an adult I felt cheated in a way. It wasn't nearly as captivating or as good as I'd remembered. But Michael Jackson was. Even as good as he was he couldn't carry this soulful yet warped version of The Wizard of Oz.
