A screening of Wicked: For Good—the second half of the two-part Wicked film—was held in Manhattan October 28.

Attendees included members of the Broadway and touring companies of the international hit musical as well as Ariana Grande, who plays Glinda in both parts of the Jon M. Chu-directed films.

The screening marked a reunion of sorts for Grande, Allie Trimm, and Aaron Simon Gross, who all co-starred in the 2008 Jason Robert Brown-Dan Elish-Robert Horn musical 13. As fate would have it, Trimm is currently playing Glinda in the Broadway production of Stephen Schwartz and Winnie Holzman's Wicked at the Gershwin Theatre. Longtime friend Gross was Grande's guest for the NYC screening, according to People.

Wicked, injecting a new backstory onto the classic tale The Wizard of Oz, debuted on Broadway in 2003 and continues to be an audience favorite at the Gershwin Theatre. Based on the novel by Gregory Maguire, the musical features music and lyrics by Schwartz and a book by Holzman. The original cast included Tony winners Idina Menzel and Kristin Chenoweth as Elphaba and Glinda, respectively. The musical is now the fourth longest-running production in Broadway history.

The show won 2004 Tony Awards for Best Actress in a Musical (Menzel), Best Costume Design (Susan Hilferty), and Best Scenic Design (Eugene Lee).
