Westfield HS on 20/20 Tonight

Did anyone else see this (I'm not going to read through those other WHS threads)?

The students did not appear to be on heroin. Still, the idea of a "soul" version of the Wizard of Oz sounded stupid.

they added a ton of bullsh*t to the entire thing. it was very, very produced and a lot of drama was fabricated so that it would catch viewers. they emphasized race as being a massive issue, when it wasn't.

Someone created a thread about this like a week ago, notifying FU that it would be on tonight.

and it was made by the same girl who made all the other stupid Westfield-related threads, to satisfy her psychological compulsive need for attention and drama.

Awakened, why do you mostly seem to comment on things regarding high schools and/or FCPS?

I thought it was a very good show, although I was surprised at some of the comments made by the staff regarding race, specifically the Drama teacher.

Chris's mom was also in my opinion a royal bitch, not supporting her son in his dream of becoming an actor or singer and more concerned about how HE was going to take care of her when she got older. I thought just by looking at his dad that he would have played that role, but he really supported his son in anything.

I dont think it needed to be two hrs and there was alot of stuff that could have been cut out, but in the end I thought it was good to watch.

Have you ever heard of "The Wiz?" It was on Broadway, and David Geffen made it into a blockbuster movie.

I saw it on Broadway. That is where Stephanie Mills got her start, but I don't know where she ended. It has some fun songs. The movie sucked.

i went to see the wiz at whs when they actually performed it and it was sooooo amazing,that group of theatre kids are soo talented (AND THEY DONT DO FUCKING HEROIN FYI) however i do think the show edited and portrayed the race issue wrongly and were overly dramatic just for the sake of viewership but the wiz was an extremely good show.
