for nbc, they have said the oorch riginal musical, which you starred in, the movie version with diana ross and michael jackson and richard pryor, that all of those productions changed their lives. what is it about this production >> you said it originally. "the wiz" in 1975 was a game changer. on many levels. probably the most important level is that it finally changed the reputation of the great white way as being inhospitable to african-americans. once you take that iconic story about a young girl who learns the most universal lesson about life, there's no place like home, and you put a little color on her face, then everybody understands it's about you. it's inclusion, right. so then the story really becomes universal. that's one way it changed the game. the other way it changed the game is it opened the doors for all black casts. i would dare say that the show i did after "the wiz" would not have happened if "the wiz" had not set that precedent. >> how did you get the role as the wiz in "the wiz"? >> how long have you got? i'll make it short. in 1974 when ken harper, the producer, was
