Sky and streaming service NOW are rolling out the green carpet for something truly magical this November. On the 8th, they'll air Wicked: One Wonderful Night, a two-hour live musical celebration starring Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande, marking a glittering lead-up to the release of Wicked: For Good, the grand cinematic finale of the beloved saga arriving in cinemas on 21 November.
Filmed at the legendary Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, the special promises to be a visual and musical spectacle. The venue will be transformed into a shimmering Emerald City-inspired world, complete with a 37-piece live orchestra conducted by the acclaimed Stephen Oremus. Viewers can expect stunning performances, reimagined arrangements, and breathtaking choreography from Christopher Scott, the creative force behind both Wicked and Wicked: For Good.
The evening will reunite the star-studded cast, including Oscar winner Michelle Yeoh, pop culture icon Jeff Goldblum, Tony nominee Ethan Slater, five-time Emmy nominee Bowen Yang, and rising star Marissa Bode. Together with Erivo and Grande, they'll bring new life to the iconic songs that defined Wicked, as well as debut never-before-heard numbers from the upcoming film. These original songs were written by the show's legendary composer and lyricist Stephen Schwartz, who will also make an appearance during the special alongside director Jon M. Chu and other surprise guests.
Produced by Fulwell Entertainment, with Ben Winston and Raj Kapoor as executive producers, Wicked: One Wonderful Night is shaping up to be more than just a TV event. It's a love letter to Oz, its characters, and the millions who've followed their journey from stage to screen.
For fans old and new, this is a rare chance to see behind the Emerald curtain. Wicked is available now on Sky Cinema and streaming service NOW, while Wicked: For Good will join the line-up in 2026.
