I saw the original Broadway production of "The Wiz" back in '75 or '76. Loved it! I went to see the movie version when it was released in '78.....what a catastrophe. A 30 year old whiny Dorothy? What were they thinking? All of the charm of the original had been destroyed by this over-bloated mess. A total critical and financial failure. Shame.
