CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Evillene (Mabel King) sings "No Bad News" while her henchmen dance.

FILM DESCRIPTION:
Sidney Lumet's The Wiz is the film version of the popular Broadway musical that retells the events of L. Frank Baum's classic novel The Wonderful Wizard of Oz through the eyes of a young African-American kindergarten teacher who's "never been below 125th Street." Leaving a large family dinner to chase her dog into a snowstorm, Dorothy (Diana Ross) is swept up by a cyclone and transplanted to the land of Oz -- which looks suspiciously like a skewed version of the run-down Manhattan of the late '70s. Landing on top of the Wicked Witch of the East, the puzzled Dorothy is greeted by munchkins who peel themselves from a graffiti mural and sing to her about the Wiz (Richard Pryor), a powerful wizard living in Emerald City who can help her get home. On her journey down the yellow brick road, she encounters a garbage-stuffed scarecrow (Michael Jackson) in a junkyard, a broken-down tin man (Nipsey Russell) caught in the decay of an old amusement park, and a cowardly lion (Ted Ross) posing as a stone statue outside a museum. The quartet tangles with a subway station that comes to life, a poppy den, and a gaggle of motorcycle henchman on their way to the Wiz -- who orders them to kill the Wicked Witch of the West (a sweatshop tyrant) before he will grant them their wishes. The Wiz has about double the large-scale production numbers of The Wizard of Oz (1939), with songs written and composed by Charlie Smalls.

I know that costume that she is wearing got to be hot and heavy, but she made it work.

Villain songs are always the best song in a lot of musicals, both animated or live-action!

This song had that old New Orleans feel to it. Evillene's outfit even had a Mardi Gras look to top it off. Loved it.

I love how the Poppy Girls are absolutely rocking out to Evillene's number, while the Crows and the Peddler are just standing around hoping she doesn't kill them all for failing her -- considering what her song is about. 🤣

The makeup artists did a great job making her "ugly" because Ms. King herself sure wasn't!

Hands down...this is the best scene and song in the ENTIRE movie. I’ll literally watch the entire movie until after this scene. She killed it. 💯

She took us all to church!!! I swear when the old ladies in my church get into a song and the choir gets hype, this is what happens.

2:56 that smooth pick up of the blue cloth so it doesn't pull the viewer's eyes to it . . . NICE! . . We're dealing with professionals here!

She has that black grandma vibe that would always cook you corn bread collard greens mash potatoes and fried chicken and she went to church all the time and would hug you and shit like I didn't hate this woman in this movie
