We’ve got the first look at the upcoming television musical "The Wiz Live!" starring newcomer Shanice Williams, Ne-Yo, David Alan Grier and Elijah Kelley as Dorothy, The Tin Man, The Cowardly Lion and The Scarecrow. Of course we’re fans of The Wiz,
The main cast has been fitted for their costumes and their edgy threads have us even more excited about the project. Shanice star as Dorothy following the footsteps of iconic singer Diana Ross, who starred in the 1978 feature film, and legendary songstress Stephanie Mills, who starred in the coveted role in 1975 Broadway production.
Ms. Mills will star in this upcoming production as Auntie Em.
Comedian and actor David Allen Grier is starring as the Cowardly Lion. His look was updated with his mane made out of dreads and a stylish vest.
R&B singer Ne-Yo who’s gearing up to be a dad again, will bring his vocals and acting talents to portray The Tin Man, who’s rocking a rather dapper ensemble…made out of tin.
Elijah Kelley, who has starred in The Butler and Red Tails, will play the friendly Scarecrow.
The rest of the cast includes Queen Latifah as the Wiz; Mary J. Blidge will play Evillene, the Wicked Witch of the West; Uzo Aduba will play Glinda the Good Witch of the South; Amber Riley will Addaperle, the Good Witch of the North and Common will play the Bouncer, the gatekeeper of the entrance to Emerald City.
