It's a play ... what were you expecting?

It's a play on NBC, even worse.

Blackhawks/Senators tied tree-tree in da tird on CSN ... you know, in case you want to watch tv.

Why in Gods name would you watch this when the Hawks and the NFL are on now?

The wiz is better than hockey and the racist fans can't handle it

Saw the original musical @ the Schubert 40 years ago. Excellent musical. I got to meet Geoffrey Holder (Live & Let Die-Baron Samedi, 7-Up spokesman of back then) & was stoked. Turned around and damn near was eye to eye with Stephanie Mills (Auntie Em in tonight's show). :shock: :shock: My dad had to stifle laughter at how scared I instantly was.

i liked the original "the wiz"; like the "peter pan" and "sound of music", i have no interest in the modern intonations. it can remain a classic for me, in the original film.

Someone texted me yesterday and asked if I thought this would start on time. I got a good laugh out of it. No interest in watching this.

I watched activists interviewed on Chicago Tonight AND In the Loop yesterday, so I'm still one of the good ones

I only watched about 10 minutes of it. Honestly like the idea of airing a live play on network television a couple of times a year.
Not enough people go to see these things live in the theater including myself.

I don't think it translates very well especially without an audience. The stage looks small and you really only focus on what the director wants you to focus on. Anything done on a grand scale on stage is lost when you don't have the perspective of sitting back 100+feet from the action

There is some truth to that. I just enjoy seeing real acting on stage.

For the Curious Hair's of the board...The Wiz had great ratings last night. 11 Million.

Better than last year's Peter Pan.

While you all may not have liked it, a lot of people did, and the ratings proved it as well.


Full disclosure: I'm probably being extra sensitive lately because it seems like now more than ever, black people are being put into a negative light on EVERYTHING (unless it's sports).

We only watched the first half hour so far but it was much better than Peter Pan.
