The upcoming remake of The Wiz revisits the beloved 1978 American musical fantasy adventure, originally directed by Sidney Lumet and based on the 1974 Broadway show. This fresh adaptation continues the tradition of celebrating African-American culture, as it reimagines L. Frank Baum’s The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. The story follows Dorothy, a young teacher from Harlem, who is whisked away to a magical urban Land of Oz, where she sets off on a journey to meet the enigmatic Wiz and is joined by the Scarecrow, Tin Man, and Cowardly Lion.
