The East-coasters were getting super hype as the broadcast kicked off, which made some West-coasters a little jealous.

So...my TL is filled with east coasters, I see. Everybody's watching #TheWiz. Meanwhile I'm in L.A. like... pic.twitter.com/EkwlR45NLX

Broadway fave Laura Benanti was very convincing with her work as Toto.

SURPRISE! I'M TOTO! #TheWizLive

What does it feel like to be able to sing?! To like just open your mouth and have angel sounds come out? #TheWizLive

Even Broadway stars were impressed by the vocals happening last night.

And everyone was impressed with the work of the creative team, too.

So cool the make up artist referenced Jean Michael Basquiat for the scarecrow. #TheWiz #BlackExcellence pic.twitter.com/fQu4qDtUj5

There was no denying that former casts had to be proud that this production was SLAYING.

And everyone started relating scenes to their life. Which were incredibly accurate.

Others were heartwarming.

I love this and I keep spontaneously crying like I'm so proud of these people as if I know any of them. #TheWizLive

And then there were the tweets that made us laugh.

By the time Uzo Aduba showed up, everyone was emotional.

Uzo said believe in yourself and I was like "mhmm okay" #TheWiz pic.twitter.com/f4kEQK0zlf

— Kristen Bryant (@_kbryant_) December 4, 2015

And Uzo's talent did NOT help matters.

I just threw my phone at the TV because @UzoAduba is too talented for this planet. #TheWizLive

And everyone was talking about how this is the best live broadcast NBC has produced.
