Wicked: For Good Premiere: Celebrity Red Carpet Fashion in New York

Ariana Grande Details Saying Goodbye to 5 Years of ‘Wicked’ With Cynthia Erivo

Something Wicked this way comes.

Ariana Grande, Cynthia Erivo, Jonathan Bailey, Michelle Yeoh, Jeff Goldblum and Ethan Slater are descending upon the New York premiere of Wicked: For Good, the follow-up to John M. Chu‘s 2024 movie being released on Nov. 21. 

And the Nov. 17 red carpet was certainly the most popular place to be, with Nina Dobrev, Constance Wu, Claire Danes, Megan Hilty and Trisha Paytas also on hand to celebrate the highly anticipated film, which centers on the second and final act of the Broadway musical it was adapted from.

“I’m quite excited for people to see how far these characters have come and what the progress has been between the time you left them and where they are now,” Cynthia shared on Wicked: The Official Podcast. “It’s a big journey.”

In fact, it’s a labor of love spanning nearly half a decade to make.

“I feel that the time went by really quickly,” Cynthia marveled. “I blinked and we were here. So much has happened between then and now—so many wonderful things, so many wonderful experiences.”
