Yes, if you click your heels three times and sing, “Flawless,” Beyoncé might play Glinda in the upcoming live television production of the hit musical The Wiz.

Several reports are indicating that the Queen herself is in talks to play everyone’s favorite good fairy in the Fatima Robinson-choregoraphed NBC staging. Harvey Fierstein is adapting the musical’s book for TV, with Kenny Leon directing the production.

The rumors about Beyoncé come right on the heels of the announcement that Mary J. Blige will star as the Wicked Witch of the West and Queen Latifah is cast as the title character. Stay tuned to G Philly to find out if Mrs. Carter will ease on down the road.
