Lea Michele to play Dorothy…but who will play Toto….love him! I think Lea Michele would be great as “Dorothy from Oz”. She has a sweet innocence with a huge voice…perfect!
Summertime Entertainment’s animated 3D musical “Dorothy of Oz” has snagged Lea Michele of “Glee” to voice the lead part and provide vocals on several original musical numbers.
“Dorothy” marks Michele’s first work in features following Broadway roles in “Spring Awakening” and “Les Misérables” and the breakout success of “Glee.”
Story, penned by Randi Barnes, Adam Balsam and Barry Glasser, is an update on “The Wizard of Oz” and centers on Dorothy Gale returning to a tornado-devastated Kansas and then being transported back to Oz to help her friends.
Other voice talent on board includes Jim Belushi as the Lion, Dan Aykroyd as the Scarecrow and Kelsey Grammer as the Tin Man. New characters will be voiced by Oliver Platt as Wiser the Owl, Megan Hilty as the China Princess, Hugh Dancy as as Marshall Mallow and Martin Short as the Jester — Dorothy’s arch-nemesis.
