Academy deserves better than ‘The Wiz’

When “The Wiz” opened in 1975, Broadway was having some fun (and encouraging minority employment) by doing all-black versions of established works (“Guys and Dolls,” “Hello, Dolly!”). “The Wiz” took the 1939 Judy Garland movie and made it into a lightweight script that seemed to want to do nothing but be irreverent. It won the Tony Award for best musical during one of the worst seasons ever. The 1978 overblown film version put an end to Diana Ross’ film career.
