So why is there an all black wizard of oz on my TV?
Who was clamoring for a remake of the original Wizard of Oz anyways?

Did anyone on /tv/ besides me watch it? I thought it was really enjoyable, and I don't typically like musicals.

No it didn't. It won 7 Tonys because of affirmative action.

>blacks blatantly appropriating white culture

What's next? Black Annie?

I never saw Black Annie, but I'm sure it sucked because its source material was shit.
The Wiz is freakin' ambrosia. The play, not the Joel Schumaker travesty

I wouldn't call this a great song, soul music in general is just very agreeable. Its mediocre but hard to really be bothered by

Did they shoehorn Christmas into the script like with Peter Pan Live?
>>63299827
No he has a point.
The original Wiz was great.
This remake is absolutely unnecessary.

How is it a remake? It's a performance of a play. Plays are intended to be performed many times.

How is it autistic to call something inoffensive in so many words
>>63300645
From what I've seen of The Wiz they do enough differently in song, story, visual design that it justifies its existence. Changing the setting from escaping a drab farm to inner city Harlem makes perfect sense. I'd rather see a remake change things up like that than just retell the same story with different actors
