18:59Episode 1: Wicked, Wizard of Oz, The Wiz, Oz the Great and Powerful "Welcome to 'The Clay Phoenix Show,' this week we’re taking a journey down the yellow brick road to explore the fascinating history and many iterations of the beloved classic, 'The Wizard of Oz.' Diving into 'The Wiz,' a groundbreaking musical that reinvented a classic story for a new audience and brought the magic of Oz to the urban stage. Turning the spotlight on 'Wicked,' the spellbinding musical that flips the script on a classic tale and has captivated audiences worldwide since its debut. Then we’re exploring 'Oz the Great and Powerful,' a visually stunning prequel to the timeless tale of Oz that offers a new perspective on how the legendary wizard came to be. The Wizard of Oz "The magical land of Oz was first introduced to the world in 1900 by the imaginative mind of author L. Frank Baum. His book, 'The Wonderful Wizard of Oz,' captured the hearts of readers with its whimsical characters and enchanting adventures. But Baum's creation was more than just a children's book; it was a cultural phenomenon that opened the door to an entire Oz universe. Over the years, Baum wrote an impressive 14 books set in the magical land, providing his readers with an endless source of wonder and enchantment. Perhaps the most iconic adaptation of Baum's work is the 1939 film 'The Wizard of Oz,' starring Judy Garland as Dorothy. This film became a cinema classic, beloved for its memorable songs, vibrant Technicolor, and, of course, the unforgettable performances. Its impact on popular culture is immense, and phrases like 'There’s no place like home' and 'We’re off to see the Wizard' have entrenched themselves in our everyday vernacular. Fast forward to the late 1970s, and we see another innovative take with 'The Wiz,' a Motown-produced adaptation that reimagines the tale against the backdrop of an urban landscape. With a stellar cast including Diana Ross and Michael Jackson, 'The Wiz' gave audiences a fresh perspective on the classic story through the lens of African-American culture. In literature, the world of Oz continued to expand in Gregory Maguire’s 1995 novel 'Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West.' This retelling from the perspective of the so-called villain was a unique and darker twist, later adapted into a wildly popular Broadway musical 'Wicked,' captivating audiences worldwide with its thought-provoking themes and unforgettable music. As time marches on, new adaptations and interpretations arise, such as the TV series 'Emerald City' and the upcoming animated film, continuing to breathe new life into the land of Oz and keep its spirit alive for future generations. So why does the Wizard of Oz continue to capture our imaginations more than a century later? Perhaps it's the timeless appeal of an ordinary protagonist like Dorothy, who teaches us the true meaning of courage, friendship, and finding our way home. "And that, dear listeners, is the journey through the history and iterations of 'The Wizard of Oz.' A story that's shown endurance, adaptability, and the power of imagination. The Wiz "First hitting the stage in 1974, 'The Wiz' retells L. Frank Baum's 'The Wonderful Wizard of Oz' through the lens of African-American culture, bringing a fresh perspective and vibrant energy to an already beloved tale. The story follows Dorothy, played originally by Stephanie Mills on Broadway, as she navigates a fantastical urban landscape in search of home and self-discovery. The inception of 'The Wiz' marked a significant moment in theater, providing a platform for African-American voices and stories. The show featured a dazzling lineup of soul, R&B, and gospel-inspired music, composed by Charlie Smalls, which set it apart with its infectious beats and emotional depth. After its Broadway success, 'The Wiz' made the leap to the silver screen in 1978, featuring an all-star cast that included Diana Ross as Dorothy, Michael Jackson as the Scarecrow, Nipsey Russell as the Tin Man, and Richard Pryor as The Wiz himself. Directed by Sidney Lumet, the film adaptation showcased the story in a new light, full of vibrant costumes and imaginative sets while keeping the heart of the musical intact. Critically, the film received mixed reviews, but over time, it has become a cherished classic, celebrated for its bold vision and standout musical performances, including unforgettable numbers like 'Ease on Down the Road' and 'Home.' Beyond just entertainment, 'The Wiz' sparked important conversations about representation and diversity in the arts. It continues to inspire new generations of artists and audiences, demonstrating the power of storytelling through diverse cultural lenses. In 2015, 'The Wiz Live!' revived the musical for a whole new audience, broadcast on NBC with stars like Queen Latifah and Mary J. Blige. This live adaptation embodied the spirit and vibrancy of the original while introducing 'The Wiz' to a new era of fans. "And there you have it, the story of 'The Wiz,' a transformative piece of art that not only retold a beloved story but redefined it, leaving an indelible mark on theater and film. Wicked "'Wicked' first opened on Broadway in October 2003, but its origins trace back to Gregory Maguire’s 1995 novel, 'Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West.' The novel presented a fresh, thought-provoking twist on the land of Oz, known to many through L. Frank Baum's books and the iconic 1939 film 'The Wizard of Oz.' Maguire's narrative asks us to reconsider everything we think we know about the Wicked Witch of the West, offering a nuanced exploration of morality, identity, and friendship. The musical adaptation, with music and lyrics by Stephen Schwartz and a book by Winnie Holzman, brings Maguire's rich, intricate world to life. It centers on the unlikely friendship between Elphaba, the misunderstood, green-skinned girl who becomes the Wicked Witch, and Glinda, the bubbly and popular Good Witch. It delves into themes of good versus evil, power, and prejudice, all wrapped up in a mesmerizing score with standout numbers like 'Defying Gravity' and 'For Good.' Since its premiere, 'Wicked' has become one of the most successful Broadway shows of all time, breaking box office records and winning numerous awards, including three Tony Awards and a Grammy for the original cast recording. The roles of Elphaba and Glinda have been graced by many talented performers, with Idina Menzel and Kristin Chenoweth originating the roles to critical acclaim. What makes 'Wicked' especially powerful is its ability to resonate with audiences on many levels. Its story encourages viewers to question the simplistic labels of 'good' and 'evil' and reflects on the impact of societal judgments. The friendship between Elphaba and Glinda also serves as a poignant reminder of the complexities in human relationships and the transformative power of understanding and acceptance. Beyond the stage, 'Wicked' has infiltrated pop culture, its music and themes widely recognized even by those who haven't seen the performance. A film adaptation will premiere in theaters on November 22, 2024 which is out this Friday. This film is promising to bring the magic of 'Wicked' to a broader audience and further solidify its status as a modern classic. 'Wicked,' is a show that defies expectations and continues to enchant viewers with its powerful narrative and unforgettable music. Oz the Great and Powerful "Released in 2013 and directed by Sam Raimi, 'Oz the Great and Powerful' is set as a prequel to L. Frank Baum’s 'The Wonderful Wizard of Oz' and the iconic 1939 MGM film. While it's not a direct adaptation of any of Baum's novels, the film attempts to weave original storytelling into the familiar fantasy world that many of us hold dear. The film stars James Franco as Oscar Diggs, a small-time magician with grand illusions of greatness. We follow Oscar's journey from a circus in Kansas to the magical land of Oz, where he encounters three witches: Theodora, Evanora, and Glinda, played by Mila Kunis, Rachel Weisz, and Michelle Williams, respectively. 'Oz the Great and Powerful' explores how Oscar uses his cunning and trickery to transform himself into the powerful wizard known by all in the land of Oz. The film delves into themes of identity, deception, and the magic of self-discovery, showing Oscar’s evolution from a man filled with self-doubt to someone who inspires others, focusing on the idea that true magic lies in believing in oneself and others. Visually, the film is a feast, using a combination of traditional set pieces and advanced CGI technology to create a vibrant and colorful universe that pays homage to the legacy of the original film while adding a modern touch. The opening sequence in black and white is a direct nod to the 1939 classic, creating a nostalgic bridge for audiences as they transition from Kansas to the fantastical world of Oz. Musically, the score by Danny Elfman adds a layer of enchantment, perfectly complementing the film’s whimsical yet adventurous tone. The soundtrack plays a crucial role in immersing the audience into the fantastical narrative arc. Despite mixed reviews from critics, 'Oz the Great and Powerful' was a box office success, showcasing the enduring allure of the Oz universe and its capacity to be reimagined and expanded upon in new and creative ways. It adds depth to the character of the Wizard, presenting him as a complex individual shaped by his experiences in this magical land. "And so, 'Oz the Great and Powerful' stands as an ambitious addition to the legacy of Oz, offering fans a fresh glimpse into the backstory of its enigmatic wizard.…

Rinse your hands under hot water, shake them off since there are no paper towels and swim to safety. * A Ten Page Menu - If the menu is wordier than Gone With the Wind, you might want to reconsider. A truly great restaurant focuses on a select number of entrees, while a menu that spreads itself too thin, well, just doesn’t. It’s hard to trust a kitchen that can make meatloaf, lasagna, and enchiladas. * Sticky menus and grimy salt and pepper shakers - This is yet another clue that the restaurant does not place cleanliness next to godliness. When you sit down, look at items on the table to see what state they’re in. * A Strong Odor - Walking into a restaurant should delight your olfactory senses, not assault them. You want to smell herbs, garlic, bacon, or brownies, but if you smell bleach, bug spray, or chemicals, it’s not a good sign. * You’re being ignored - You should be acknowledged by someone when you enter a restaurant by either the host, a server, or even someone standing behind the bar. * Photos of all the food - Restaurants that need pictures instead of words or explanations to describe the food might leave you disappointed.
