We’ll be honest — we didn’t want The Wiz Live! to end.

But that was the beauty of NBC’s nearly three-hour live musical — #BlackExcellence was on display to the fullest.

From Shanice Williams to Uzo Aduba to David Alan Grier to Mary J. Blige — everywhere you turned, there was a moment of joy, beauty — pure blackness.

The Wiz Live! was a show and a statement. It was an expression of our humanity, plain and simple.
