The Broadway show has become a worldwide phenomenon since it first opened in 2003, and the big-screen version promises to be just as massive. However, Wicked is hardly the first property to reinvent and expand the world of Oz.This week we’ll take it back to 1978’s The Wiz, another movie musical adapted from the stage that put its own distinctive spin on the beloved characters and story.
