Rest in peace to everyone who made this film. Love the film, the songs and may souls rest in heaven.
Ted Ross also played the Lion on Broadway before the movie was made. He even won a Tony for it. He's one of my favorite Lions aside from Bert Lahr
Mia❤😂🎉😢😮😅😊
What about Fozzie in The Muppets Wizard Of Oz and David Alan Grier in The Wiz Live?
Go on Mr.Ross with your bad self great performance
I love, love, love this movie. I watch every so often. This has always been my favorite part of the movie. Every time I watch it it takes me back in time.
It's criminal this movie doesn't get more play.
Best song ever from The Wiz
Yeah I think it’s this or You Can’t Win
R.I.P. Ted Ross (1934-2002) (The Cowardly Lion), Nipsey Russell (1918-2005) (The Tin Man) and Michael Jackson (1958-2009) (The Scarecrow). Some trivia: Both Ted Ross and Mabel King who played Evillene The Wicked Witch Of The West were the only two original Broadway cast members from the original 1975 Tony Award Winning Broadway Musical to reprise their roles in the film. Ted Ross won a Tony Award for his role as the Cowardly Lion in the original Broadway Musical.
rest in peace
God Bless their souls amen 🙏
They won’t be forgotten always be remembered and will live in our hearts
And Ted Ross should have been nominated for an Oscar for his reprisal of this role.
Oh my God, the talent in this movie is phenomenal. Same goes for the original nyc production of the WIZ done in the 1970s, which was the first Broadway musical i had ever seen. I dont think there has ever been a musical as good as the original stage play or the movie.
Ted Ross can sang!😀
Happy 45th anniversary The Wiz
R.i.p. Ted Ross 1943- 2002 (the cowardly lion) nipsey Russell
