We were walking in Flushing Meadows Park last week and Ella shouted, "Hey it's the yellow brick road from the WIZ!" Anyone else have this movie on repeat now that it's on Netflix instant watch? The movie as a whole is a total flop, but there are some really fun songs. Two favorites are Michael Jackson's Ease on Down the Road and Diana Ross's Everybody Rejoice.
I thought it would be the perfect first post for the new year. I hope 2012 is filled with a lot of dancing with arms flailing in the air and a lot of Whoa's! Yay's! And high kicks!
Enjoy the clips. Happy New Year. Isn't Diana Ross's outfit perfect?

ReplyDeleteThat girl is an optimist :)
ReplyDeletehaha it really IS the yellow brick road from the movie. they filmed munchkin land in a building right behind the bridge. it's such an odd eerie park.
ReplyDeleteI had to do a double take- that really DOES look like the yellow brick road from the movie! It's smart that she picked up on that.
ReplyDeleteI don't the THE WIZ is a total flop. It really depends on what a person takes away from the story quite honestly, and I happen to think THE WIZ is a great film, One of the Best actually and totally underrated.
