A live “Wicked” special will air on NBC on Nov. 6, two weeks ahead of the theatrical release of “Wicked: For Good.”
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.”
