NBC is bringing the Wicked magic to the small screen with Wicked: One Wonderful Night. The two-hour event at the Dolby Theater in Los Angeles will air on Thursday, November 6. It brings together the hit movie’s two stars – Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo – along with fellow cast members and special guests for a one-time celebration of Wicked and the upcoming film Wicked: For Good. 

The Wicked special is an “unforgettable night of reimagined musical arrangements, cast interviews, behind-the-scenes moments, exclusive surprises and maybe even a sneak peek at what’s to come in the next chapter of Oz,” according to NBC.

Viewers can expect to see performances from Grande and Erivo, as well as Michelle Yeoh, Jeff Goldblum, Marisa Bode, Ethan Slater, and Bowen Yang. Unfortunately, recently crowned “Sexiest Man Alive” Jonathan Bailey, who plays Prince Fiyero in Wicked and Wicked: For Good, won’t appear. His absence leads to a standoff between Yang and Slater, who are competing to be Fiyero’s understudy in a teaser for the special. 

Fans who tune in will also hear special previews of two brand new songs written especially for the new movie: “No Place Like Home” and “The Girl in the Bubble.” 

Wicked: For Good is in theaters November 21.
