'The Wiz Live!' on NBC: Watch The First Trailer
NBC's The Wiz Live! is now exactly one month away from its December 3 airing, and a first-look teaser trailer is here to get you started down the Yellow Brick Road.
The musical's stars—Elijah Kelly, David Alan Grier, Ne-Yo and newcomer Shanice Williams—are all here and thrilled about it. The video isn't much more than a look at everyone in costume and a reminder of all the stars participating, but we'll take it.
The Wiz Live! will also feature Common, Mary J. Blige, Orange Is the New Black's Uzo Aduba and Glee's Amber Riley. The original musical opened in Baltimore in 1974. The 1978 Sidney Lumet film numbered Diana Ross, Michael Jackson, Richard Pryor, Lena Horne and Nipsey Russell among its stars.
