   Who starred in 'the Wiz'?

   • Poster art for "The Wiz": Michael Jackson, Diana Ross, Ted Ross, Nipsey Russell. Magical tornadoes can strike down anywhere, I guess, and spin you off to the land of Oz. On that wonderfully logical premise, the classic “Wizard of Oz” was transformed into a Broadway musical named “The Wiz,” and then the most expensive movie musical ever made.
