4.0 out of 5 stars If you want broadway, this isn't it..., July 7, 2001

This review is from: The Wiz: Vocal Selections From the 1978 Movie (Paperback)

I did alot of searching on the internet for a vocal selections book from the broadway musical version of The Wiz. This book you are looking at now is the vocal selections from the 1978 movie 'The Wiz,' starring Diana Ross and Michael Jackson. I finally found a vocal selections book from the broadway show, and it is out of print, originally published by Fox Fanfare Music. Just letting you know, because the movie is quite different from the broadway show.

4.0 out of 5 stars *The Wiz*- Almost in it's Entirety!, May 4, 2001

By

This review is from: The Wiz : Vocal Selections (Movie) (Paperback)

This book has almost every song from the Wiz, an fantastic musical. The songs in the book are: Ease On Down The Road, Home, He's The Wizard, Be A Lion, The Feeling We Once Had, What Would I Do If I Could Feel, Slide Some Oil To Me, You Can't Win, Don't Nobody Bring Me No Bad News, Soon As I Get Home, I'm A Mean Ole Lion, Believe In Yourself, Can I Go On?, A Brand New Day,Is This What Feeling Gets? Dorothy's Theme, and Emerald City Sequence. This book didn't get the full five stars just because the Wiz isn't the BEST musical ever. (I'm a harsh critic.) Don't let that stop you from buying a great book of selections from a classic musical!

This book works well for "Wiz" selections although the range is a bit high on several of the tunes. Be aware that most karaoke versions of these songs are pitched a fifth lower than written.
