FINALLY!

After live versions of ‘The Sound Of Music” and “Peter Pan,” NBC has decided to give us a live version of “The Wiz!”

Queen Latifah will star as the Wiz and Mary J. Blige will demand “no bad news” in the role of Evillene, the Wicked Witch Of The West. And Stephanie Mills will be present as Aunt Em. No word yet on who will star as Dorothy.
