I saw the OBC when I was in college. It was so good, and her powerful voice just blew me away. Saw Stephanie when I was an intern at NBC as she came out of the green room to do a daytime show. I'm 5'3" but I towered over her even though she was wearing heels! 😅
*When my mom and her cousin moved to Brooklyn NY from South Carolina she said that the church that Ms. Mills sang at in their neighborhood was always PACKED because everyone was coming to hear her❣️This was BEFORE The WIZ‼️*
This show just makes me smile, I pray that in my life time I'm able to see the original Broadway production of The Wiz. If there is a video recording out there please release it.
Stephanie in these clips remind me of fantasia and both of them can sang like no tomorrow. i think Hollywood went with Diana ross over Stephanie mills because Diana had more of the Hollywood look that they felt would draw people into the theaters i would rather have seen Stephanie in the role
It seems to work just fine for me and my family and the other millions of people on God's green earth that Diana Ross was Dorothy. It changed the setting and style and made it more modern and timeless. The age of Dorothy is totally and utterly irrelevant. Please let it go.
@@SamanthaStevenson76 Why would they choose a white woman to play Dorothy in a show with the concept of being an African American version of The Wizard of Oz? Stephanie Mills did a great job! You can’t be serious. Are you trolling? 😂😂😂
Luther once said “Stephanie Mills sang the chandelier off the ceiling”.
He ain’t neva lied.
It still boggles my mind that she wasn’t nominated for a Tony award with this performance…
i honestly thought she did!

I have seen one. It's out there!
The Wiz was my very first Broadway show. I saw it when I was in middle school. I remember it like it was yesterday.
@@BlackBroadwayLady It was wonderful ❤️
More the Wiz
Stephanie mills that girl😍 would've loved to see her as Dorthy. Her and mike (Michael Jackson) made a great couple
Go girl
Ms. Mills' speaking voice and singing voice has stayed the same.
Would be Awesome if They Had a video of The Show

They were clearly going for the box office draw.
That's Phylicia Rashad right behind Stephanie
Wow!
You're right. You have very good eyes.
where?
Let's be realistic, as great as Diana is, she should never have been Dorothy in the movie, too old.

I wish they would’ve had a white woman to play Dorthy’s role. Stephanie did a good job though.
