C’mon, Hollywood, let’s revisit Dorothy Gale in Harlem, N.Y.
The Cowardly Lion — CeeLo Green
Original actor: Ted Ross
CeeLo Green is perfect for this role because he's cute, adorable, and it would be interesting to see him play the timid King of the Jungle on screen.

Evilene, the Wicked Witch of the West — Alfre Woodard
Original actress: Mabel King
Alfre Woodard would make a wonderful Wicked Witch because of her incredible range as an actress. While most of her roles are serious, it would be a nice change of pace to see her play someone as evil and wacky as Evilene.

Aunt Em — Octavia Spencer
Original actress: Theresa Merritt
Octavia Spencer could easily play Aunt Em, the doting maternal figure in Dorothy's life. Her natural charm would ooze off the screen.

Miss One, the Good Witch of the North — Nicki Minaj
Original actress: Thelma Carpenter
Couldn't you see Nicki Minaj, the eccentric rapper totally owning this role? And not only that, she would be the leader of the Munchkins, which can't be a far stretch from her Barbz fan base, right?
