Wicked Stars Skip Interviews: A Rocky Road to the Premiere

The stars of "Wicked: For Good" had a bumpy ride leading up to their New York premiere. Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande decided not to do interviews at the event. Erivo wasn't feeling well and had lost her voice. Grande chose to stand by her co-star, skipping interviews too. But they still showed up for photos, so fans got to see them. The movie's promo tour has had its share of drama. Grande missed the first premiere in Brazil due to airplane trouble. Then, in Singapore, a man jumped onto the red carpet, and Erivo quickly pushed him away from Grande. It's been a wild ride, but they're still pushing through. The premiere is a big deal. Other stars like Jonathan Bailey, Ethan Slater, and Michelle Yeoh are expected to be there. It's a star-studded event, even without interviews from Erivo and Grande. "Wicked" the first movie was a huge hit, making over $746 million worldwide. It got 10 Oscar nominations, including for Erivo and Grande. The second movie continues the story of Elphaba and Glinda. Erivo's character is still fighting the Wizard, while Grande's character is getting ready to marry Fiyero. The movie hits theaters on November 21. Fans are excited to see how the story ends. Despite the bumps, the stars are still making their way to the finish line.
