He was great. As creepy as The Wiz was, he was great. I should rent that movie again. Diana Ross was waaaaay too old, but the whole concept was pretty cool.
It was my senior musical in high school. We had the actual costumes from the tour as they had been struck at Clowes Memorial Hall which was the closing tour performance venue. We were VERY lucky in that. The play has as much to do with the movie as Diana Ross's NYC teacher character has to do with a little girl from Kansas. The play is about the same in form as the Judy Garland movie but updated and soulified! It's a friggin' HOOT. Pick up the script next time you're in Theatre Circle or somewhere. You won't be sorry.
