Ariana Grande Will Graciously Perform in the 'Wicked' Halloween TV Special
For something that will truly bring you bliss for the next month, look no further than the A Very Wicked Halloween: Celebrating 15 Years on Broadway special coming to a TV set near you this October. This is the first time many are going to get a chance to see what the hit Broadway musical twist on The Wizard of Oz is about, and it'll also feature your favorite stars like Ariana Grande (!!) and the original "wickedly talented" Broadway cast.
Ariana is no stranger to this type of TV special-she played Penny Pingleton in Hairspray Live!-and she might even don a costume for the event. There's no word on if the Wicked storyline will be totally altered for this special or what song(s) Ariana will sing, but let's hope she has a big role and maybe even a collab with fellow performers Pentatonix.

The original Broadway stars Idina Menzel (Elphaba) and Kristin Chenoweth (Glinda) will also perform during the concert special and act as the best possible hosts for the night.
In a statement, the executive vice president of NBC, Doug Vaughan, said:
"Wicked is a blockbuster musical playing all over the world and still selling out night after night after 15 years on Broadway. We're thrilled to be partnering with producer Marc Platt and the entire Wicked team to celebrate the enduring success of this show."
The special airs right in time for Halloween on October 29 at 10 p.m. on NBC.
