“I’m thrilled to share a centerpiece of our campaign for the second film, something unprecedented in the 22-year legacy of Wicked,” Chu stated. “This fall, our stars, the marvelous Cynthia Erivo and radiant Ariana Grande, will be joined by their co-stars and exceptional surprise guests in a one-time-only event at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles, where they will perform live many songs from the first movie — and perhaps a little from the second one, for a night that promises to be, as they say in Oz, thrillifying.”
