Common and Ne-Yo Have Joined The Wiz's Live Production!

Williams is the newest addition to the cast. The 18-year-old New Jersey girl will make her onscreen debut as Dorothy, the role Stephanie Mills originated on the stage and Diana Ross took on in the 1978 film.

Queen Latifah will play the mysterious wizard known as The Wiz. The role is traditionally played by a male — Richard Pryor famously played him in the movie — so this will be an interesting change.

Blige is taking on the role of Evillene, the Wicked Witch of the West.

Tony- and Grammy-nominated performer Grier has been cast as the Cowardly Lion, who accompanies Dorothy to the Emerald City.

Mills, aka the original Dorothy, is returning to the production to play Auntie Em.

We already know that Riley has singing chops from her time on Glee, so it should be interesting to see her as Addaperle!

Orange Is the New Black's Uzo Aduba will appear as Glinda, the witch who finally points Dorothy in the direction of home.

It was announced at Summer TCA that Kelley, who costarred in Hairspray with Queen Latifah, will play the Scarecrow. Michael Jackson originated the role in the film.

NBC chairman Bob Greenblatt said at TCA that Common would be playing the "nonsinging, comedic role of the gatekeeper to Oz."

Greenblatt also announced R&B star Ne-Yo as the Tin Man.
