We couldn't be happier to have less than a month left before Wicked: For Good is released! Our long wait is nearly over, and in celebration, a clip of Ariana Grande, Jeff Goldblum, and Cynthia Erivo performing "Wonderful" was released October 21.
Premiering first on Dancing with the Stars, the sequence is an expanded and reimagined version of the soft shoe song seen in act two of the stage musical. Normally a duet between the Wizard and Elphaba, the film has expanded the song to also feature Glinda for a technicolor seduction, complete with a reprisal of Glinda and Elphaba's dance at the OzDust Ballroom.
Check out the clip below! Keep scrolling for another new teaser trailer with more sneak peeks at the upcoming release. The movie hits movie theatres November 21.
