This Sidney Lumet film gives a makeover to the classic children's book The Wizard of Oz. Adapted from the 1974 Broadway musical of the same name, and set in 1970s Harlem, the film boasted Quincy Jones as the musical supervisor, and an impressive, all-star cast with Diana Ross as Dorothy, Michael Jackson (in his feature film debut) as Scarecrow, Nipsey Russell as Tin Man, Ted Ross as Cowardly Lion, and Richard Pryor as The Wiz.
Requested by Garden Cinema member Ed Gutteridge who writes: 'It’s so underseen and a total visual and aural delight!'
On Sunday mornings our Family Screenings are followed by a free activity for Children.
The screening is Pay What You Can, which means you’re free to pay as much or as little as you can afford. By paying for a ticket, you will enable us to keep offering Pay What You Can screenings to families struggling with the cost of living. Thank you.
