The first promo for "The Wiz Live!" is finally out. NBC has unveiled the promo for its latest live musical broadcast, which stars new face Shanice Williams as Dorothy, David Alan Grier as the Cowardly Lion, Ne-Yo as the Tin Man, Elijah Kelley as the Scarecrow and Queen Latfiah as The Wiz.
In the promo below, the characters of Williams, Grier, Ne-Yo and Kelley can be seen skipping along to the musical's signature song "Ease On Down The Road," the Daily Mail U.K. reported.
"The Wiz Live!" will be a three-hour live modern retelling of the 1975 Broadway production and will feature an all-African-American cast.
The production, executive produced by Craig Zadan and Neil Meron, will follow two previous live musicals the network has produced.
These include 2013's "The Sound Of Music" starring Carrie Underwood and Audra McDonald and 2014's Peter Pan, featuring Allison Williams and Christopher Walken, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
"The Wiz Live!" will air on Dec. 3 at 8 p.m. on NBC and will be directed by Kenny Leon.
