Featuring a 37-piece live orchestra led by the award-winning musical director Stephen Oremus, the concert and accompanying soundtrack include several fan-favorite songs from Wicked, including “The Wizard and I,” “What Is This Feeling?,” “Defying Gravity,” “Thank Goodness,” and more.
The evening also featured captivating dance numbers inspired by the films and reimagined for this special by Christopher Scott, the acclaimed choreographer of both Wicked and Wicked: For Good. The show concluded with a duet mashup performance from Grande and Erivo of Get Happy/Happy Days Are Here Again.
Following its debut on November 6, 3.6 million viewers tuned into NBC’s Wicked: One Wonderful Night special over the first three days. This makes it the second-best special of the year for the network.
