What went right?

Ok, So I think everyone universally agrees that The Wiz Live was the first new NBC live musical that actually worked.

So where did they go right?

The most obvious thing that I saw was that with the previous two years, the lack of a live audience was palpable and awkward. But I didn't get that same feeling with this one...no idea why, but my guess was better placing of commercials after big numbers.

Thoughts?

No way out!

I thought The Wiz mediocre at best. The cast was good, but the camera work, sound and direction were dreadful. The decision to not include a live audience was a huge mistake. The revised book was horrific, and I'm a huge Harvey fan.

Now having typed the above, there were some very magical moments, but nothing about The Wiz was consistently good.

The revised book was "horrific"? Come now, could that possibly be a bit over the top???
