I was prepared to totally snark this post, but my goodness Nigel is an adorable little dog.

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.
