WTH??

This production was ratchet at best. All the people that are saying the show is excellent is either kin to the cast or never saw the original 1978 classic. I should have listened to the not so great reviews. Anyone that is a fan favorite of the Wiz movie with Diana Ross, Michael Jackson, Nipsey Russell and Lena Horne will be severely disappointed. Toto was missing in action, male characters did way too much twerking, the set itself left a lot to be desired, the humor they tried to throw in was lackluster at best. Nice try but please try again. Deborah Cox and the Tin Man were my favorites but there was still much to be desired. It wasn’t their fault, the script was rushed and it felt like it was written in a day. Dorothy was cute but nothing like Stephanie Mills or Diana Ross. She didn’t have the vocal range but she gave it her best shot. The singing of Home was probably my worse part of the show and that is the best part in the movie. P.S. In the Wiz movie, Dorothy is from NY not KS.

SKIP

Sets had vibrant colors, decent dancing. Sound system was awful and both os us agreed it was difficult understanding most lyrics. I felt like a lemming having to pass thru security and have my handbag searched. No one in security provided a plausible explanation. Not again. The Globe Theatre did not have a massive security for Cabernet last October. Bye bye to Civic Theater.
