Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande’s TV special Wicked: One Wonderful Night — celebrating Wicked and Wicked: For Good — is now available to stream.
Wicked: One Wonderful Night features Erivo and Grande — who play Elphaba and Glinda in the Wicked films — singing such Wicked songs as “Popular” and “Defying Gravity.” The special also features other core cast members from both Wicked movies, including Jeff Goldblum (The Wizard), Michelle Yeoh (Madame Morrible), Bowen Yang (Pfannee), Marissa Bode (Nessarose) and Ethan Slater (Boq) — as well as surprise guests.
Also appearing on the special are Wicked and Wicked: For Good director Jon M. Chu, as well as Stephen Schwartz, the composer and lyricist of the 2003 classic Broadway version of Wicked.
The special includes clips of two new songs Schwartz composed for Wicked: For Good: “No Place Like Home,” featuring Erivo, and “The Girl in the Bubble,” featuring Grande.

“Glinda (Ariana Grande), meanwhile, has become the glamorous symbol of Goodness for all of Oz, living at the palace in Emerald City and reveling in the perks of fame and popularity. Under the instruction of Madame Morrible (Michelle Yeoh), Glinda is deployed to serve as an effervescent comfort to Oz, reassuring the masses that all is well under the rule of The Wizard.”
