Magic Meets Winter Sports in New Olympics Promos!
Hey there, Wicked fans and sports enthusiasts! We've got some thrilling news that's set to heat up your chilly days. The upcoming Winter Olympics just got a magical twist with some iconic Broadway stardust, courtesy of none other than Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande!
In a super fun clip shared by NBC Sports, we see the enchanting Cynthia Erivo, who plays Elphaba in the live-action Wicked, joining the U.S. curling team for a practice session. Things seem a bit wobbly until Erivo suggests swapping out their broom for her gravity-defying one. Boom! The team scores big, and Erivo gives a wave that's pure Wicked magic along with Grande vibes.
But that's not all! Another teaser shows figure skating champ Alysa Liu delivering a dazzling routine until the ground starts to shake. Soon, we find her inside a snow globe! Who's causing this shake-up? It's Ariana Grande peering in, adding her pop star flair to the wintry scene.
Get hyped, because these videos are dropping right before the Wicked sequel, Wicked: For Good, hits theaters on November 21. The first film was a box-office sensation, and this one promises to be just as spellbinding.
The magic doesn't stop there. After the movie magic, gear up for the Winter Olympics kicking off on February 6 on NBC and Peacock! It's a perfect blend of Broadway's best and the world's top athletes, and we can't wait to see the magic unfold.
This Wicked-Olympics crossover is a full-circle moment for Cynthia and Ariana, who kicked off their Wicked journey at the 2024 Summer Games. The magic train from the Emerald City even stopped by Paris, adding to the excitement! Unlike the elaborate promos last time, the franchise is keeping things more intimate, tuning into true fan vibes for the sequel.
While the excitement is building, Ariana missed the international premiere in Brazil due to flight safety issues, but reassured fans with a heartfelt message, "i am so heartbroken that i’m unable to be there with you all".
Don’t miss out! Watch these magical promos and mark your calendars for a winter of wonders with Wicked: For Good and the thrilling Winter Olympics.
