If Thursday night's The Wiz Live! shared the exuberant punctuation of 2013's The Sound of Music Live! and last year's Peter Pan Live!, it surpassed both of those previous efforts in terms of energy, spirit, and watchability.

At a time when the country is reeling... there is no better time to experience a soothing, expertly executed celebration of family, friendship and black culture.

Maybe the sincere production of The Wiz Live! will inspire young theater lovers, but it didn't soar.

Everyone agrees, Shanice Williams will ease on down the road to super-stardom after this performance. Her voice was incredible and her performance top-notch.

It was exuberant, and even a little cocky. It was different from anything else NBC has aired all year, but hopefully its success will inspire more programs like it in the future.

Imagine that: a 온라인카지노추천 musical you could enjoy and not just hate-watch for the sake of a few pithy tweets. NBC might well be on the right track.

Worse, but by now traditional, the pacing was patchy, leaving weird holes in the action through which the show's energy seeped away. Neither the stage direction (by Kenny Leon) nor the camera direction (by Matthew Diamond) solved those problems.

It was fantastic. Where the others felt unintentionally campy and ridiculous, or downright strained and awkward, The Wiz had it figured out.

This trip to Oz had plenty of magic and a ton of soul.

The Wiz Live! was, wouldn't you know it, actually pretty good.

You can blame nostalgia for the original musical. But even if you don't believe it's a brand new day, it's nice to still love the old one.

| Original Score: A- | Dec 4, 2015

The Wiz certainly raised the bar with its fresh and unique take.

| Dec 4, 2015

The Wiz Live! had courage, heart, brains, and one of the catchiest musical scores ever written. Really, what more could you ask for?

Queen Latifah blew away memories of Wizards past.

Now that's how you ease a 온라인카지노추천 musical on down the road to success.

Grading on a curve, The Wiz ranks as the most satisfying of NBC's three efforts.

As much as Dorothy wants to go home, the Scarecrow needs a brain, the Tin-Man desires a heart, or the Cowardly Lion longs for a spine, NBC coveted a hit: The Wizard delivered.

An abundance of commercials and a striking lack of Toto didn't keep The Wiz Live! from being NBC's best holiday production yet.
