I agree the Wiz is the best. JCC was great too (it’s one of my favs of all time), but as a collective all singers weren’t strong musically. Musically the Wiz has stronger performers. All the other live musicals can take a seat in the garbage can.

I’ve read some comments about the whole cast having a darker coloured skin , I honestly didn’t knew that I just find it normal , as a white just like me I just don’t think we could hit that notes at all. I just see everyone as people the same as I. I don’t care what skin colour someone has Only wish the whole world saw that too.

From the moment I first saw this live on television, I been entranced and in love with this number. After countless listens, props to the choir HAVE to be made. They’re ability to harmonize, smoothly go from highs to lows serves as a perfect support to Riley’s vocals. And (In my opinion) is, major part of why this song is so magical. It makes me want a version where I can completely focus on just the choir’s sound.
