On December 22, 2015, The Wiz Live! will be released on DVD. The modern remake of the Tony winning 1975 Broadway play stars Queen Latifah, Mary J. Blige, Common, Ne-Yo, David Alan Grier, Stephanie Mills, Elijah Kelley, and Shanice Williams as Dorothy. Kenny Leon served as director.

The Wiz Live! also earned favorable reviews. It was considered a major improvement from the previous NBC live adaptations of Sound Of Music and Peter Pan. Both of those productions were universally panned.
