NBC did it again with another live, televised production of a broadway classic! Plenty of celebs were cast in the highly-publicized production, including Uzo Aduba as Glinda the Good Witch, Mary J. Blige as the Wicked Witch of the West, Ne-Yo as the Tin Man, and Queen Latifah as The Wiz.
And while it seems like at least half of Hollywood starred in the show, spectator celebs like Andy Cohen and Kristin Chenoweth took to Twitter to sound off on how their peers — and newcomer Shanice Williams — did in the musical!
Find out what they said (below) !

Will be very disappointed if they don’t refer to the Wizard as Jermajesty.
