These are my recommendations for the special. Some of these folks can go on to the ongoing stage production; many will not because of other obligations.

Dorothy: Keke Palmer (secondary: Zendaya)
The Scarecrow: Jussie Smollett (secondary: Elijah Kelley)
The Tin Man: Usher
The Cowardly Lion: Tituss Burgess or James Monroe Igleheart

Addapearl, The Good Witch of the North: Janelle Monae
Evilene, The Wicked Witch of the West: Tichina Arnold (go find the YouTube video of her doing “No Bad News” in 2009)
The Wiz: Wayne Brady (Secondary: Don Cheadle)
Glinda, the Good Witch of the South: Stephanie Mills*
