There was a Wicked reunion April 3 at Broadway's Redwood, with Kristin Chenoweth watching her Tony-winning former co-star Idina Menzel in the musical and then joining her onstage after to sing "For Good," their final duet from the Stephen Schwartz musical. Watch the post-show performance above.
The duo created the roles of Glinda and Elphaba in Wicked in 2003, with Menzel winning a Tony for her performance. Menzel is currently starring in Redwood, which she co-conceived with director, book writer, and co-lyricist Tina Landau. The score features music by Diaz and lyrics by Diaz and Landau. The musical is currently set to continue through August 17 at the Nederlander.
