I guess they couldn't afford the Wizard of Oz rights so they went with the Wiz? I usually find it cringe when nonblack schools with no black students perform shows written by and for black people and black audiences, but from what I can see in this, they do it in a respectful way. Not sure about teh rest of the show. The problem is the script is usually written in AAVE , and the music is written for black voices/singing style which almost always come across cringe when white high schools perform it. I have to see the rest to fully judge.
Now…what is thissss
Dont do that anymore....
Thx for sharing Ruth. It was a great performance!
Not to be rude but I find it very sad there are no black people in this show, this movie is such a big part in black history :(
IK that was what i was literally thinking
I feel the same exact way
