Ashanti Follows Yellow Brick Road to NYC

Per the New York Times, R&B singer Ashanti will make her stage debut as Dorothy in Encores! Summer Stars production of "The Wiz."

The songstress, who previously played Dorothy in the made-for-television movie "The Muppets' Wizard of Oz," has yet to learn who will be cast alongside her in the roles of the tin man, scarecrow and cowardly lion.

Twitterers are already offering their own mixed reviews.
