Elphaba and Glinda might (temporarily) loathe each other, but viewers only felt happiness enjoying PBS' Wicked in Concert August 29. Check out Olivier winner Amber Riley (Dreamgirls) and Gabrielle Ruiz (CrazyEx-Girlfriend) performing “What Is This Feeling?,” plus clips from Cynthia Erivo and Stephanie Hsu, below.
Original Wicked stars Idina Menzel and Kristin Chenoweth reunited to co-host the concert celebration of the blockbuster musical. Also performing selections from Stephen Schwartz’s score were Tony winners Rita Moreno, Gavin Creel, and Ali Stroker; Tony nominees Ariana DeBose and Mario Cantone; Grammy winner Jennifer Nettles; and Broadway stars Alex Newell and Isaac Powell.
Transferring from an earlier run at Brooklyn Academy of Music, the production is one of two Arlekin productions playing the Off-Broadway company this fall.
