Check out these first look photos of NBC’s The Wiz Live! airing December 3. The very colorful images were revealed exclusively today by PEOPLE and features “the friends” aka Dorothy (Shanice Williams), Scarecrow (Elijah Kelley), Tin Man (Ne-Yo) and Lion (David Alan Grier).

NBC also released a 41-second behind-the-scenes clip of the group getting ready for their magical photo shoot. According to the show’s costume designer, Paul Tazewell, they are “creating a fantasy land that also is inspired by some of the imagery you’d see today” including a “Jean-Michel Basquiat” inspired Scarecrow and a Cowardly Lion with dreadlocks.

Take a look at all of the video and pics below and tell us what you think!
