There’s a tiny nod to The Wiz during the “One Short Day” play (the background dancers’ costumes).

I saw a lot of nods to the WIz in the Emerald City scenes. The colors, the intricate color coding of the costumes, the dance numbers, and the statuesque postures of the women done up in fabulous outfits. The Wizard of Oz Emerald City was not as detailed and imaginative as the Emerald City in The Wiz. I felt that the stage show also took its vision for the Emerald City from The Wiz. I felt it all throughout the One Short Day number. I loved it.

The moment we entered the emerald city I felt like “this is The Wiz” homage.

Not to mention the black crump dancing women in one short day as they “walk thru”

Y’all know easter eggs/nods aren’t necessarily big obvious spectacles right? it could be as simple as a piece of wardrobe.

SPOILER ALERT!!!!!! SPOILER ALERT!!!!!! SPOILER ALERT!!!!!! SPOILER ALERT!!!!!! SPOILER ALERT!!!!!! SPOILER ALERT!!!!!! I could be reaching… but when Boq says “I cry a lot” when giving Glinda the handkerchief I thought of The Wiz.

Big 'homage' to The Wiz that no one here seems to be talking about- the costume designer is the same! He did the costumes for the Wiz at 16!

I mean …they were crumping in emerald city 😂
