Vincent D’Onofrio to Play the Wizard in NBC’s ‘Emerald City’ Vincent D’Onofrio has been tapped to play the Wizard of Oz in Emerald City, The Hollywood Reporter has learned. The 10-episode, straight-to-series drama centers on 20-year-old Dorothy Gale (True Detective’s Adria Arjona) and her K9 police dog who are transported to a mystical land of competing kingdoms, lethal warriors, dark magic and a bloody battle for supremacy. The series takes place in the fabled Land of Oz in a way never seen before, where wicked witches don’t stay dead for long and a young girl becomes a headstrong warrior who holds the fate of kingdoms in her hands.

‘Oz’ is a delightful new take on an old story It is altogether fitting that the Lambs Players Theatre here in Coronado should be the one to debut a new musical, Oz,based on L. Frank Baum’s “The Wizard of Oz.” Baum used to vacation at the nearby Hotel del Coronado, and some of his later stories in the Oz series were said to be penned there. Besides being a musical treat, with the cast singing and dancing to the rhythms of bluegrass, gospel and salsa, Oz is a treat for people who enjoy dialects. The Munch Kin people speak in Irish and Scottish accents; the witches seem archly English; the scarecrow is a hillbilly; the tin man is African-American, and the Cowardly Lion is Latino. As for Dorothy– what else? — she’s from Kansas.
