Good news! Wicked stars Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo performed together at the Oscars.

The duo was tipped by the Academy to present “a performance you won’t forget.” They did exactly that, opening the show with a tribute to Los Angels through the songs “Somewhere Over the Rainbow,” from The Wizard of Oz, “Home” from The Wiz, and “Defying Gravity” from Wicked.
