Wickedess never looked so wonderful.

With only one week to go until the release of Wicked: For Good, Cynthia Erivo has teamed up with the legendary dancer Misty Copeland for a collaborative reimagining of "No Good Deed."

The video, which sees Erivo performing a stripped back rendition of the song by Steve Hackman, accompanied only by Lucia Micarelli on the violin and Eric Byers on the cello, features a gorgeous physical interpretation by Copeland, who recently retired from the American Ballet Theatre. Copeland is choreographed by Kyle Abraham, and the video, shot live, is directed by Lauren Finerman.

Check out the performance below.

This is not Erivo and Copeland's only collaboration. In 2016, the pair participated in an impromptu duet for Cosmopolitan Magazine, with Erivo singing an a capella rendition of the Gershwin classic "Summertime" as Copeland danced for the camera during a joint photoshoot.

While primarily known in the dance world, Copeland did perform once on Broadway, in the most recent revival of On The Town. This video marks her first public performance piece since her retirement from ABT.

Tickets are on sale now for the November 21 premiere of Wicked: For Good. Starring Ariana Grande as Glinda and Erivo as Elphaba, the screen adaptation includes new songs by Stephen Schwartz, including a brand new song for Erivo titled "No Place Like Home". The films also feature West End Company Olivier winner and Bridgerton star Jonathan Bailey as Fiyero, SpongeBob SquarePants star Ethan Slater as Boq, Emmy winner Peter Dinklage as Dr. Dillamond, Oscar winner Michelle Yeoh as Madame Morrible, Jeff Goldblum as The Wizard, and Bode as Nessarose.
