Grande and Erivo, who played Glinda and Elphaba in the Wicked films, performed For Good, one of the musical's most recognisable songs. They then followed it with a mashup of Judy Garland's Get Happy and Barbra Streisand's Happy Days Are Here Again. Broadway’s original Wicked stars, Idina Menzel and Kristin Chenoweth, joined Grande and Erivo on the special in the For Good performance.
The appearance marked a notable live reunion for the pair, who last performed together during the 2025 Wicked: One Wonderful Night special. Bringing Erivo back for the London show made the moment even more significant for fans who have followed their friendship and onscreen partnership.
The reunion post the announcement by the singer that she would step away from the public eye after completing her current tour on September 1. The decision followed increased public scrutiny around her appearance and health.
