Stephanie Mills in her younger days think I might still have a program from this play, one of our class field trips when I was in elementary. Kids today might go on three field trips, we use to average 10+ fun times. (dating myself)
Sad about the Scarecrow, the broadway Scarecrow could not make a case they would be better than the movie Scarecrow; however, Stephanie Mills could make that case about Diana Ross.
Saw it during '77 on Broadway.
That's when my crush on Stephanie Mills began.
And I (it's was The Mom's actually) still have the soundtrack on vinyl.
Mills (as Auntie Em) was the BEST thing about that NBC adaption a few years back.
When She broke out into "THE FEELING WE ONCE HAD",
My Black-ASS truly started to cry.
