As The Wiz Historian, it was an absolute privilege to see The Wiz back in theaters after so many years since its release. I had the honor of seeing it FOUR TIMES throughout its two-day selected run, and it was truly a magical experience each time. This remastered 4k release brought an unparalleled cultural adventure through Oz to both new and older fans, deepening the film's magical touch.

Many fans of this beloved classic have reached out, expressing that a two-day selected showing simply wasn't enough. They were overwhelmed by the excitement of revisiting this iconic journey, yet some were unable to partake due to time constraints and busy work schedules. These voices echo a need that stretches beyond just nostalgia; it's about celebrating an integral piece of cultural history that continues to inspire.

"The Wiz" is more than just a movie; it’s a celebration of diversity and creativity, with messages that resonate across generations. The impact of seeing this film on the big screen is profound, especially when framed against today's cultural backdrop.

Universal, we humbly ask you to consider extending the theater run of "The Wiz." By doing so, you allow fans who missed out on that initial window the chance to witness this cinematic masterpiece as it deserves to be seen—in all its grandeur and splendor.

Let's keep the spirit of The Wiz alive, giving everyone the opportunity to share in its wonder. Please sign this petition to urge Universal to extend the movie's theatrical run. Your support can bring this magical experience to even more audiences, ensuring that The Wiz continues to enchant and inspire a new generation of viewers.
