NBC presented The Wiz Live!, this past Wednesday, December 3, 2015. The musical was great. Legendary, Grammy award winner Stephanie Mills played Aunt Em, while 19 year old New Jersey native, Shanice Williams played as Dorothy. This is Williams first major show and she did GREAT! The musical was full of familiar faces and phenomenal talent. Rapper and actor Common was the Gatekeeper of Emerald City. Actress and singer Amber Riley played Addaperle, the Good Witch of the North. Actress Uzo Aduba as Glenda, the Good Witch of the South. Actor Elijah Kelley as the Scarecrow and also a Farmhand. Actor and singer, Ne-Yo, as Tin-Man and a Farmhand. Actor David Alan Grier as the Cowardly Lion and a Farmhand. Actress and singer Mary J. Blige as Evillence the Wicked Witch of the West. The legendary actress, rapper and singer Queen Latifah as none other than the Wiz! I loved the songs, "Soon as I get Home", "You Can't Win", "Ease on Down the Road", "Don't Nobody Bring Me No Bad News", "Everybody Rejoice/A Brand New Day", "Believe in Yourself", and "Home".
