At the fumes and disappointments..... ki

Brandy definitely aint the one fuming so who cares. she'll probably do it on stage like she wanted

Sovereign.

Who's fuming? In fact, I'm kinda glad with the casting decisions.
I simply STATED I would've loved for Queen to play Glinda, but Uzo slays.

Again, y'all don't know shit, but always talking.  :uhh:

See ya next year at 'The Wiz' revival, bbys!  :kii:

What are you talking about?  :uhh:

No one even knows the girl playing Dorothy.  :dead:
As for Uzo (a classically trained vocalist & actress) & Amber, they're perfect picks. David Alan Grier slays. Queen will bring something unique & fun to The Wiz. The only one I'm side-eyeing a bit is Mary J. Blige as Evilene. I thought Jill Scott would've been an epic choice, but whateve's. Kenny Leon's a Tony Award winning director. Y'all don't know shit.

relax luv

:wellheythere:

Never seen OITNB
Never seen Glee
Never seen David Alan Grier in anything other than In Living Color
Never seen MJB do anything other than bop across a stage
Queen I can get with, but that is minimal. So yea, this cast puzzles me.

Sorry, you're not "cultured", luv.

David's a Tony-nominee, has a new sitcom on NBC & Yale School of Drama grad. Queen's an Oscar-nominee. Uzo's an Emmy winner & slays classical voice, Amber slays PERIOD. Woo! And Kenny Leon's a Tony-Award winning Broadway & regional theatre director. Stay pressed, baby.

Yeah David is a multiple Tony nominee. If people know anything about Broadway, they would know these things.
I am scarred, so fucking scarred
These are the scars of me
The very fucking scars of me
This is my tragic heart
My tragic heart

I think this will be an amazing production.

Honestly, I am glad Brandy is not a part of this. I want her musical resurgence to be attributed to her own doing and not someone's tv musical.  She's building her brand again and I don't think this would help her that much....it's a cast of lots of big names...nobody will probably stand out.
