Starring Diana Ross, Michael Jackson, and Richard Pryor, this musical re-imagining of the Wizard of Oz is coming to Jengo's! In this version, Dorothy (Ross) is a 24 year old school teacher in Harlem, who awakens after a snowstorm in the land of Oz - a surreal version of New York City.
The scarecrow is made of garbage, the tin man is a mechanical carnie from Coney Island, and the lion works as a living statue in front of the public library.
Originally released in 1978 to commercial failure, the film has remained a favorite to many and has risen to cult classic status.
