On Monday, October 28, a special screening of Wicked: For Good took place in New York for the Broadway and theater communities. In attendance was Ariana Grande, who plays Glinda in the two-part film adaptation, along with several members of the Broadway company, including Lencia Kebede, who is Elphaba on Broadway, and Allie Trimm, who plays Glinda.

Trimm's attendance also served as an unofficial 13 reunion for her and Grande, having starred together in the original Broadway production of the Jason Robert Brown musical. People reported that Grande brought her friend and fellow actor Aaron Simon Gross as her guest to the screening, who also appeared with her and Trimm in the show.

Other attendees at the screening included Gregory Maguire, author of the original source material; composer/lyricist Stephen Schwartz; book writer Winnie Holzman; director Jon M. Chu; producer Marc Platt; and musical supervisor/arranger Stephen Oremus. Check out photos from the event below.

Wicked: For Good picks up after the 2024 blockbuster. Elphaba, now demonized as The Wicked Witch of the West, lives in exile, hidden within the Ozian forest while continuing her fight for the freedom of Oz’s silenced Animals and desperately trying to expose the truth she knows about The Wizard. Get tickets to see Wicked: For Good in theaters and check out first reactions for the new movie here.
