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 am anxious to see this in it's final state. From what I have seen, it is so promising even with my quibble with some of the design choices. The cast is really strong and the score incredible. I am sure it will all come together and surpass Sound of Music and Peter Pan. Perhaps this will actually be NBC's apology for Peter Pan!

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.

This special got me even more excited for this. The staging is well done and the score sounds great. I love the style of the sets. The led screens looks great. I was skeptical about them at first but now i am in love with them. This looks amazing. I cannot wait!!!!

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.

"First of all, what is shilling? I have never even heard of that phrase in my life. And second, what is your problem? This constant rudeness and blatant disrespect is ridiculous. I have done nothing wrong. All i have been doing is sharing my excitement for this and posting updates. You are so cocky. If you do not like what i post, you simply move on from it, not bully me. So stop being so mean to me.

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!

LOVED pretty much everything I saw- however, MJB's line delivery seemed a little wonky, and what they showed of No Bad News isn't giving Mabel King, Ella Mitchell or Tichina Arnold a run for their money. But since we are just seeing a rehearsal and not the actual performance, I will reserve judgment till after the Broadcast. still VERY excited for this production!!!

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.

I haven't seen the special but I am relieved that my ears will at least be listening to some A+ vocals this year. With the previous broadcasts, on top of worrying if the casting/design/etc. would match up, I worried that the vocals wouldn't be strong enough. But, this year we really have such amazing vocalists on board. I'm especially excited for the soundtrack!
