Just in today from NBC, The Wiz Live will be rebroadcast on Dec. 19 at 7 p.m. Central.
Of course, the network would be remiss if it didn't build on the yellow-brick path that the live broadcast cut through social media. The broadcast was the latest in a holiday tradition that NBC hopes to continue: a three-hour live musical event.
So, ease on down the couch and sit just long enough to set your DVR. I know some of you forgot last time and are kicking yourselves because you didn't get a chance to sing along to "A Brand New Day" (also known as "Everybody Rejoice.")
The Broadway play won seven Tony Awards, including Best Musical, and the feature film starred Diana Ross and Michael Jackson. This new production features Cirque du Soleil performers and direction from show master Kenny Leon.
