Big Surprise Awaits Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo at Wicked Premiere - What Happened Next?

The highly anticipated film adaptation of Wicked finally premiered in Los Angeles on Saturday, and it was a star-studded event. Wicked stars Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo were in attendance, but they weren't the only ones who drew attention. The original Broadway stars of Wicked, Idina Menzel and Kristin Chenoweth, also attended the premiere, bringing with them a big surprise for the new generation of witches.

According to Daily Mail, Menzel and Chenoweth were in high spirits as they walked the red carpet. The two Broadway legends were beaming with pride as they showed their support for the film adaptation of the musical that catapulted them to stardom. It's worth noting that Menzel originated the role of Elphaba, the Wicked Witch of the West, while Chenoweth played the role of Glinda, the Good Witch of the North.

Ariana Grande, who plays the role of Glinda in the film, was visibly emotional as she met Menzel and Chenoweth on the red carpet. The two Broadway stars were seen chatting with Grande, offering words of encouragement and support. Meanwhile, Cynthia Erivo, who plays the role of Elphaba, seemed to be in awe of Menzel's presence. The two were seen taking photos together, with Menzel offering Erivo some advice on how to carry the iconic role.

The surprise that Menzel and Chenoweth had in store for Grande and Erivo was a special performance of the musical's hit song, "For Good." The two Broadway legends took to the stage, joined by Grande and Erivo, and performed a heartfelt rendition of the song. The performance was a testament to the enduring legacy of Wicked and the bond that exists between the original and new cast members.

Wicked is set to be released in theaters worldwide later this year. The film adaptation promises to bring the magic of the musical to the big screen, with Grande and Erivo delivering powerful performances as the two lead witches. Menzel and Chenoweth's surprise performance at the premiere was a reminder that the spirit of Wicked lives on, and that the next generation of witches is ready to take the stage.
