Well, I googled and got Gregg and Ted...maybe one replaced the other cause they keep saying that Stephanie Mills was Dorothy. So it was the original cast but which created the role is the question!!

Gregg was in the show with Stephanie, but he was in the 1984 revival as the Lion..not the original cast.

Was Ted Ross on that Kate Jackson tv show?

I just hope this revival is better than that horrid movie version with la Ross. She SUCKED! I can't believe they actually released that piece of crap in theaters!!!
