Broadway's blackface version of The Wizard of Oz. Ugly in design, dreary in lighting, chaotic in dance, insipid in song -- what less could you ask? The major area of fascination is in scrutinizing, up close, the monster-ish makeup on the Scarecrow, the Tin Man, and the Cowardly Lion. With Diana Ross, Michael Jackson, Nipsey Russell, Ted Ross, and Richard Pryor; directed by Sidney Lumet. (1978) — Duncan Shepherd
