Channel Seven is set to host a one-time-only, two-hour special featuring the cast of “Wicked” including Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande.
“Wicked: One Wonderful Night”, premiering at 8pm on Tuesday, November 18th, will celebrate all things “Wicked” ahead of the upcoming cinematic release of “Wicked: For Good”.
The musical special will feature electrifying performances led by Erivo and Grande, who will be joined by their co-stars Michelle Yeoh, Jeff Goldblum, Ethan Slater, Bowen Yang, and Marissa Bode. It will include reimagined musical arrangements, cast interviews, behind-the-scenes moments, exclusive surprises and maybe even a sneak peek at what’s to come in the next chapter of Oz.
Filmed at the iconic Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, “Wicked: One Wonderful Night” will transform the legendary venue into a breathtaking Emerald City-inspired set, complete with a 37-piece live orchestra led by the award-winning musical director Stephen Oremus, plus jaw-dropping musical numbers and unforgettable performances.
There is a “definish” chance the evening will also feature captivating dance numbers inspired by the films and reimagined for this special by Christopher Scott, the acclaimed choreographer of both “Wicked” and “Wicked: For Good”.
The special will debut world premiere clips from the upcoming film, featuring two new original songs written by the stage musical’s legendary Grammy and Oscar-winning composer and lyricist Stephen Schwartz. The special will also give fans an exclusive opportunity to hear songs from the upcoming film for the first time.
This “festivating” event will also feature appearances from celebrated “Wicked” and “Wicked: For Good” director Jon M. Chu, Stephen Schwartz and surprise guests.
“Wicked: One Wonderful Night” will premiere exclusively on Seven and 7plus at 8pm on Tuesday, November 18th.
