Meet Shanice Williams -- the star of NBC's upcoming live TV adaptation of the Broadway classic "The Wiz."

The 18-year-old New Jersey native was tapped for the lead role of Dorothy in the December TV production, which will retell L. Frank Baum’s “The Wonderful Wizard of Oz” with an all-black cast set in a fantasy version of New York City.

Williams beat out thousands of hopefuls and big-named stars for the role -- with only a few local musical productions under her belt, including “West Side Story” and “Pippin.”

The young actress joins previously announced stars Queen Latifah, who will play the Wiz, Mary J. Blige, who will play the Wicked Witch of the West, and David Allen Grier, who was cast as the Cowardly Lion. Stephanie Mills, who played Dorothy in the original Broadway production, will take on the role of Auntie Em..

“The Wiz Live!” will air on NBC on Dec. 3 -- following in the footsteps of 2013’s “The Sound of Music Live!” and last year’s “Peter Pan Live!”

Like those two productions, “The Wiz Live!” will be produced by Craig Zadan and Neil Meron. But unlike previous years, NBC will transfer its revival of “The Wiz” to Broadway for the 2016-17 season.

It's not clear if any of NBC’s cast will reprise their roles on Broadway.

It’ll be the first time Grammy winners Blige and Latifah have appeared in a live musical, despite both having background in movie musicals.

Blige appeared alongside Tom Cruise in 2012’s “Rock of Ages,” while Latifah starred in 2007’s “Hairspray” and 2002’s “Chicago,” for which she was nominated for an Oscar.

Tony-winning director Kenny Leon (“A Raisin in the Sun”) will stage both productions, with Tony winner Harvey Fierstein providing additional material to William F. Brown’s original Broadway book.

Cirque du Soleil will co-produce alongside Zadan and Meron, meaning there’s a good chance our residents of the Land of Oz will be performing some high-flying circus acts.

With music and lyrics by Smalls, “The Wiz” features some of Broadway’s most iconic songs, including “Ease on Down the Road,” “Home” and “Brand New Day.”

The hit 1978 film version starred Diana Ross and Michael Jackson as Dorothy and the Scarecrow, respectively.
