There doesn’t seem to be any other similarities other than being set in NYC and the musical contributions of Stephen Schwartz but “Godspell” (1973) and “The Wiz” (1978) always have very similar vibes to me

I just noticed that what I've been singing to myself is Slide Some Oil To Me from The Wiz. 😂

Casting Nipsey Russell as the Tin Man in the film was an absolute stroke of genius.

“if you’re listening, God, please don’t make it hard to know if we should believe the things that we see

Tell us: should we run away? Should we try and stay? or would it just be better just to let things be?”

Currently re-watching on #AMC +on #Comcast) the original #WizardOfOz (1939) starring #JudyGarland, which was released 86 yrs ago, for the umpteeth time, which (for me) never gets old & ii's still far better IMO than all of the late variations, including but not limited to #TheWiz & #Wicked 1& 2.

Guardian of the Gates

The Guardian of the Gates is a very jolly and friendly little man who guards the emerald studded gates of the Land of Oz's imperial capital known as the Emerald City. In Baum's original book he is described as rather short, being the same height as a Munchkin, even though it does not clarify if he is of Munchkin blood or a native Munchkin who came from the eastern quadrant known as the Munchkin Country. In appearance he is said to be a older man but very jolly and round, with a chubby fat...
