Interesting and insightful comments RanRan79.
I agree with everything you say except The Wiz being a great work from start to finish. The music yes, the film no.
Viewing the film forty years after its first release the passing years for me have added enchantment to the view. It still has many flaws, but there is also a lot to enjoy as well.
The Brand New Day sequence being my favourite, Dororthys arrival in Oz being my least. It took a long time but the Wiz finally found it's audience and has gone on to become a cult classic.....
