The Wiz Movie Review Summary

Actors: Diana Ross, Michael Jackson

Detailed plot synopsis reviews of The Wiz


In a 1978 remake of the classic movie The Wizard of Oz, Diana Ross takes on Judy Garland's role as Dorothy, and Michael Jackson appears as the Cowardly Lion. The "Oz" in this movie resembles New York City a lot, and there are many other subtle differences. For instance, the Wicked Witch's helpers aren't winged monkeys, but they do ride motorcycles. Also, instead of singing Off to See the Wizard, the quartet, led by Ross, sings Ease on Down the Road. But aside from that, the storyline remains pretty much the same.
