I was prepared to totally snark this post, but my goodness Nigel is an adorable little dog.
When I see the phrase "the ____ estate", I imagine a vast mansion in the country full of monocled men and high-collared women receiving letters about productions across the country and doing spit-takes at whatever they contain.

He is cute - but I think Ashanti should have been cast as Toto instead of Dorothy. Her truly rotten performance in the Muppet version proved that.

Was anybody else hoping they'd go with a West Highland White Terrier so they'd have a white dog playing against an all-Black cast?
No?
Just kidding...:)
Too cute!

The dog is adorable, but I still won't go see this.

What an adorable dog!
I'm so happy they're not casting a person in the role of Toto like they did with the Oz scenes in La Jolla. But I wonder if he'll only appear in the Kansas scenes or perform throughout the whole show.

There was a tour in the mid-1980's with Stephanie Mills and Andre DeShields that had a white Toto ( a West Highland Terrier).

Well.. that adds up to a whopping three reasons to see The Wiz - Christian White as the Scarecrow, Scenic Design by David Korins and Nigel as Toto!

ADORABLE! And what a Cinderella story.
"If this is going to be a Christian nation that doesn't help the poor, either we have to pretend that Jesus was just as selfish as we are, or we've got to acknowledge that He commanded us to love the poor and serve the needy without condition and then admit that we just don't want to do it." -Stephen Colbert
