i had the pleasure of seeing this on broadway - i was very young. My grandmother had taken all of her grandkids..it was so lovely. seeing this play peeked my interest in theatre..

I remember Ann in Bring In The Noise, Bring In The Funk broadway play.

Loved this song when it was in the play. A very sexy entrance to introduce Glinda.

Beautiful!! Love Stephanie's voice!!💕😊 the clip is so special and nice to see 💕 Thank you! I would have loved so much to have had the chance see the original wiz!!!! Broadway cast with Stephanie Mills!!💕🌻

When I saw The Wiz Ted Ross was the Lion, what a performance that was. I've been a Lion ever since

Thank you for this! Saw Ella a few times on the 92-93 tour! So much fun!

She passed away? Oh no not Miss Hattie Mae Ms Mitchell. Awwww. May Ms Mitchell rest in eternal peace in God's Heaven. And my condolences to her family.

Ella Mitchell ***** Rest in Peace "Ella Mitchell - American soul singer and actress.

May she rest in Peace

YAYAYAYA I’m on a wiz kick and thought I’d seen everything. Yay

May this fabulous woman rest in peace! I am so grateful that she shared her gifts with the world for as long as she was able to do so. The world lost a wonderful woman but heaven’s angels gained a new choir leader. Her memory will live on in all of us who were fortunate enough to witness her immense talent and extraordinary kindness.

Please more wiz?

Stephanie and Gregg are too beautiful for words here. Gorgeous.

Sing DAT song !!!!

Wow! I grew up listening to this Soundtrack as a child! It’s awesome to see it

I can tell they really enjoyed each others performances, and had a lot of respect for one another professionally

Are they dressed as watermelon

Why the hell is she entering on a giant watermelon? Sounds kinda racist when this show is also about celebrating African-American culture.

I feel good all over ... :)

I want to see this full production soooooo bad ... Like I want to be sitting in the best seats in teh house the way I'm Obsessed with these clips 💘💘💘

wait oh my god! can you release footages of the tornado scene if you have any ??

3:17 I’m in my bathroom at 1am screaming this to the top of my lungs 🤣🥴

It’s about time Ms. Mills gets a Lifetime Achievement, ICON award. She knows what she is, though! 🙏🏾❤️💯

❤❤

Sister Stephanie voice brings me happy childhood memories 🎉🤎🙏🏼🤲🏼💪🏼💫🤗👑❤

@highlight #highlight The movie would have been a smash Hit if Stephanie if the original cast it didn't need all that star power that's where the black mind in entertainment loses its grip all it needed was talent and just to put it out there if Stephanie Mills was in that movie which I think they're going to do it again somebody's been rumbling and I think somebody's going to buy the rights but if she did it it would have been a hit Diana Ross did it and because the industry was against Donald Ross against her and the lady sings the blues and all that stuff they just wanted to crush her acting career by panning the movie and that's exactly what it done she's never been on the screen again she was ridiculed she looked horrible in the movie she look like an old crackhead in that movie it was the worst thing that she did for her career and then she continued to cover other people's songs and squashed their careers like Martha Wash after all what she went through with black box she came out with her carry-on album and Diana Ross 3 months later review released her version and squashed him out to watch recording Korea Diana Ross is a nemesis she has bread out of the black community he is no longer black if you look at her offspring when she had her family on stage for her celebration they're all white her and Grace Jones they have been written out of the black lexicon don't mention her in any favorable words she's done nothing for the black community she is the reason why we have Oprah and Oprah is a nemesis to all black people everywhere all over the world she's a lesbian she goes to Africa he does lesbians I mean just really now you are sexy red we need more Stephanie Mills and less people like you

Now I feel like a lion ❤❤❤😂

This short clip is like a wonderful Time Machine.

that smile. wow! could light up the darkest night. Glinda had true magic. haha.

Truly Magical

This is so CLEAR for its time. Please release the full version of ‘A Rested Body Is A Rested Mind’! Please Please PLEASE! Thank You for releasing this clip! It means so much to me. I wish I can see the entire 1975 Show in general. I APPRECIATE YOU !

OMG! MORE! MORE! MORE! We need THE WIZ 1975!!! 😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃
