[FanOfTheMusical]

Glad to hear you think you are better than this. Let's see a clip of your "Mean Ole Lion."

[oedipusvv]

wow wow im just so surpirsed im playing that art right now our showi is this thur. and idk just speechless ugh white people are just so cheeze for theater but do what u do man rock on,,* )

[shrubbmeister]

that was terrible!

[digitalblue1]

i think people missed the concept that the IWZ was created for all black only, because The Wizard of Oz had NO blacks in that...sooo can you please go do that instead of trying to take over the little that blacks already have!!! DAMN!!!

@digitalblue1

Racist.

[cammicty]

@henrysvg Your the one who is ignorant! Funny how, the average White person wants to label something Racists, when it's the truth because deep down inside they're a Racist or have problems with hearing the Truths about what affects Blacks or other minorioties! The point here is ''The Wiz'' was nothing about Whites, but about the troubles affecting African Americans at that time, something you couldnt even begin to grasp! This was not the Wizard of OZ. DIgitalblue was right your wrong!

I think he did a great job! And, yes, he does look like teddy bear-lion hybrid. :-)

[emanresusirk]

mean ole teddy bear.

[ANLpr0ducti0ns]

lol

[snaggerj]

I think it was more he tried to play the 'Mean ole lion' part up a bit much but a tad too much yelling lol

[extremeXjapanophile]

Alex Walters sang this WAY better in my high school's production, i think... all this guy did was yell.

[SOFLYNOLIE1]

what the fu*k was that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1st of all he cant sing, he yelled the whole song, never put his endens on his words, and he didnt move anywhere, he didnt work the stage. idk wth he thought he was puttin togethter "Mean of Lie" its Lion not lie

[superamandaaddiction]

I think he did great!

[broadwaybabe87]

the road's screaming was a little distrating and anoying, im my cast we have the road not moving at all or showing emotion's cuzz well there a road and it looks awsome and this guy kinda scramed insted of singnig

[dezmatic]

i'm sorry but as a fan of the wiz i thought this guy sucked. He kinda has the voice for it but he can't sing so he yells. he doesn't have that style for it.

[gogo245]

Ur soo right... but if u look at the others... he was the best

[TomDoherty01]

bahaha i love tinman running away

[clownrus]

When I said dancing, I meant some kind of movement. And movies are different from plays, because in the movie he ran and jumped over the rails on stares, and he ran up the stairs and spun around with his tail and did things like that, but in a play you can't do that So as in dancing, they would have to make somthing for him to do other then walking back and forth and singing. It's just quite boring personally.

[tokenmale]

i stand corrected but even so i dont recall Ted Ross dancing all that much

[MaskedMan66]

Fleetwood Coupe deVille (that's the Lion's name, chillen) don't need to dance to be cool.

[tokenmale]

in the original broadway cast and in the film nipsey russel who played the lion didnt dance and he got on quite well actually, i dont think the lion needs to dance...

[LukeWehner]

Ted Ross played the lion on Broadway and in the film, not Nipsey. Nipsey was the Tin Man.

[clownrus]

If he danced more instead of just walking, it would have been fantastic, but as it is, it's great.

[BEAUTY141]

Great job .

[zoey101019]

Aw he looks cuddly :) But he's very awesome.
