Ashanti to play Dorothy in The Wiz
Ashanti will be starring in a very limited Manhattan stage engagement of the 1974, Tony winner The Wiz, reports Broadway World. Ashanti, 28, will mark her stage debut as the Dorothy in the soulful version of the The Wizard of Oz, which originally starred Stephanie Mills on Broadway and, in the 1978 movie, Diana Ross. This version runs June 12 to July 5 at the New York City Center, as part of the Encores! Summer Stars series.
Though she’s new to the New York stage, Ashanti is no stranger to the role. She played Dorothy in the 2005 TV movie, The Muppets’ Wizard of Oz.
