‘Wicked’ Special to Feature Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo Singing Live, NBC Sets November Date Ahead of ‘Wicked: For Good’


Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo will lead a 'Wicked' event special on NBC in November.

Taking place at Los Angeles’ Dolby Theater, the special will be led by Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande, who star in “Wicked” and its sequel as Elphaba and Glinda, respectively. The pair, alongside their co-stars and other surprise guests, will perform songs from the first movie — and it can be assumed that they’ll tease music from “For Good” too, as a press release from NBCUniversal says to expect “maybe, just maybe, a little bit from the upcoming film.” “Wicked” was released in November 2024 and became the biggest Broadway musical adaptation in history, grossing more than $750 million at the box office, then went on to achieve Peacock’s best-ever Pay 1 streaming viewership.
