Every Reaction You Had While Watching The Wiz Live!

NBC

The Wiz Live! aired last night, and the Internet reacted accordingly. We've been obsessed with star Shanice Williams ever since we saw her get the news that she scored the coveted role of Dorothy, and she did not disappoint! She was just one highlight in the show, filled with familiar faces and songs made classic by the 1975 original. If you tuned in, chances are, you had some of the same reactions that we did. Take a look for a play-by-play of all the major moments ahead!
