If Thursday night's The Wiz Live! shared the exuberant punctuation of 2013's The Sound of Music Live! and last year's Peter Pan Live!, it surpassed both of those previous efforts in terms of energy, spirit, and watchability.

At a time when the country is reeling... there is no better time to experience a soothing, expertly executed celebration of family, friendship and black culture.

While it may not be enough to renew every musical-lover's faith in live-to-TV performances, The Wiz Live! certainly proves that musicals have a place on television right now - and not just in late-night monologue jokes.

The most important elements in the success of The Wiz Live! come from Leon and Robinson and their accumulation of a rather remarkable assortment of talent to populate the stages at Grumman Studios.
