So I was rummaging the interwebz and discovered that NBC has released some casting information for their live version of The Wiz musical to be aired December 3rd of this year. Thought I’d post just in case anyone was as excited for the musical as I was. Or ya know, whatever *shrugs*
Mary J. Blige as The Wicked Witch Of The West
Queen Latifah as The Wiz
David Alan Grier as The Cowardly Lion
Common as The Gatekeeper Of Oz
Ne-Yo as The Tin Man
Elijah Kelley as The Scarecrow
Stephanie Mills as Aunt Em
Uzo Aduba as Glinda, The Good Witch Of The South
Amber Riley as Addaperle, The Good Witch Of The North
Shanice Williams as Dorothy

Keeper Of Tamara's Taser , Jafar's Staff, Kitsis’s Glasses , Ariel’s Tail, Dopey's Hat , Peter Pan’s Shadow, Outfit, & Pied Cloak,Red Queen's Castle, White Rabbit's Power To World Hop, Zelena's BroomStick, & ALL MAGICUm. Okay. Let me just give this casting list so far one word: YAAASSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!! Everything about this is YAS! Although I am a bit curious as to why Queen Latifah is playing the Wizard? I thought they’d made a mistake but apparently that’s a thing. The Wiz is a woman now or she is dressing in Drag (is that the term for it?) Either way, that is going to be good. Stephanie Mills as Aunt Em is nice as she was the original Dorothy in The Wiz. Eiljah Kelley as the Scarecrow?? GIMME!!!! Mary J as the witch???? Dear god!!!! Yeah, I am a fangirling like crazy. This cast sounds amazing. And I swear I mildly worried about the casting to be honest but this sounds interesting. Talented people are talented and I simply cannot wait! And its surprising for me. I would have guessed Mary J Blige as Glinda, Queen Latifah as Wicked Witch, Common as The Scarecrow, but this is all good with me on every level. I will definitely be tuning in for this one.
