Always gotta have that wit.

Yes indeed!

That is so great to hear/read

Thank YOU.

He came to tell his story, and I am here for all of the HISTORY!

Right!?

Thank you for the warm words.

Thank you for the compliment. Mr. Faison choreographed the Broadway production, which framed the conversation accordingly.

THANK YOU.

@@QLSProducer no biggie love not at all

Thanks for the footnote !

Right!?

We love it too (clearly), but one could argue that you could not get it without an incredible Broadway run (and in other cities) first...

@QuestloveSupreme Yes. One could argue that. Because the film is actually based on a book by L. Frank Baum's "The Wonderful Wizard of OZ" and not based on this Broadway show which it clearly states in the opening credits of the film. There were many interpretations long before a Broadway show was an idea which was never an original idea either. Theater people tend to get real touchy between a Broadway show and an actual film, whereas a film/movie tends to reach a vast amount of people and lasts for generations. A film has more popularity than a stage show that the majority of people will never see. People who worked on the stage version of The Wiz always tend to avoid talking about the film version which is just as glorious and monumental in the arts as well. It deserves just as much credit and acknowledgment by these people. But you can never expect theater people to do this and also acknowledge the greatness and oftentimes uniqueness of a film version or different similar interpretations of the same story just outta respect for a different art form. Their pettiness just won't allow them to do so.
