One of the most hotly anticipated events of the year for Broadway babies is NBC's live presentation of classic Tony Award-winning funk/R&B musical THE WIZ, titled THE WIZ LIVE!, and now fresh new updates from the Dorothy auditions are available to view.
Producers Craig Zadan and Neil Meron shared an update from the latest round of auditions for THE WIZ LIVE! last night, posting a photo of director Kenny Leon and choreographer Fatima Robinson, with Meron offering, "#the wiz auditions with the great @iamKENNYLEON & fantastic #FatimaRobinson @nbc @craigzadan."
Zadan followed up shortly thereafter, retweeting the pic and sharing, "Wiz Live director @iamKENNYLEON & choreographer #FatimaRobinson @auditions last night. Our great team. More to come," which Kenny Leon then retweeted.

The official description of THE WIZ LIVE! is as follows: "NBC embarks on its latest musical holiday tradition with a live television production of the groundbreaking Broadway show that brought the vivid world of Oz to the streets of New York in a fresh, funky sing-along journey down the yellow brick road. Winner of seven Tony Awards, including Best Musical, the original show was a massive hit on Broadway and even spawned a feature film starring Diana Ross and Michael Jackson. Now, a Tony-winning creative team, the hugely imaginative Cirque du Soleil Theatrical, and a diverse cast of showstopping performers will come together to create an eye-popping new take unlike anything seen before. From Executive Producers Craig Zadan and Neil Meron comes an awe-inspiring adventure overflowing with stunning spectacle and toe-tapping music."
THE WIZ LIVE! airs on December 3 at 8 PM on NBC.
