NBC’s production of The Wiz just potentially became more awesome than anyone could have ever dreamed, because Beyoncé has been offered a major role. Not only that, but it’s the best, most perfect role imaginable for Queen Bey: Glinda the Good Witch! This show was already going to be amazing, with both Mary J. Blige and Queen Latifah already signed on. Blige will play the Wicked Witch of the West, while Latifah will be playing the infamous Wizard, which already sounds like a pretty good start to a cast. Even if Beyonce doesn’t take on the role, she’s not the only exciting name on the wishlist. Sources tell E! News that producers are also considering Orange is the New Black star Uzo Aduba for the part.
