THE WIZ: 2015 NBC LIVE MUSICAL — Page 51

Broadwaywest said: "I couldn't agree more that I am really excited about this production, after watching the making of. The be a lion number sounded incredible. I'm also really digging the staging and use of the LED screens. Once you see it all together, it really does feel like a co-hesive. There was also some terrific energey in some of those numbers as opposed to what ever was going on in peter pan last year.

"This looks amazing. I absolutely love the tornado ballet already. It looks great. I love the emerald city ballet costumes. I am very excited to see that number come to life. Amber sounded incredible in rehearsals. The kalidah scene looks great and the flying monkey scenes look stunning. Just wondering, will the music have live instruments when they sing it live?

I absolutely love the way that NBC staged Peter Pan ladt year, and unabashedly and unapologetically list it as my absolute favorite rendition of the show, to the point that I now find it difficult to listen to any other version of the material without doing a compare/contrast with NBC's production of the show.

I mention this, BTW, because I have never seen or experienced The Wiz before, and have the feeling that iNBC's production is going to 'spoil' me for the rest of my life should I ever have an opportunity to see a different take on the material in that I will be using it as a 'benchmark' just as I now do with the network's production of Pan.

Someone really needs to teach that girl how to breathe.

What is that supposed to mean?

I still find it odd that Teddy only posts in this thread. I wonder if he'll disappear after the broadcast.

I would say YOU are the obnoxious one Gypsy101. Allow someone to enjoy their excitement without bitchy, snarky remarks. You don't like what Teddy posts? Then don't f-ing read them.

Thank-you.

Thanks for your advice SNAFU, but I don't think Teddy needs you to defend him because he has the Wiz on his side. Why must we all tolerate the endless shilling? Thank-you.

Teddy, i truly think you can be as excited as you wish, I just wish you would go be excited somewhere else.

It's always the shills who pretend to have never heard of the word before. If you're here to stay Teddy, try posting in other threads. What else are you excited about?

Sorry, you guys are what make this message board intolerable, Cats and Gypsy! You don't like what someone says? Then F-ng DO NOT ENGAGE THEM! Snarky remarks and this inane arguing is F-ing childish!

Agreed Sanfu.
This is a thread about The Wiz, and whether it's excitement or shilling, it's on topic and relevant. If everyone else is so hot and bothered, stop reading and posting in this thread.

Yeah, they showed a lot of very early run throughs with costume camera tests. MJB's acting not be up to snuff in these clips, but her singing, from what I have heard, is awesome! She might very well surprise us on the 3rd.

Perhaps i should stop sharing for fear of being seen as a shill.

They all seemed to be themselves in ugly costumes....no character development at all.....but pipes for the nation.

"Why must we all tolerate the endless shilling? Thank-you."

He's not even shilling.
