Grande explained to a livestream host that Erivo needed to rest her voice. Erivo did manage a brief comment, expressing how beautiful it was to celebrate the film's conclusion in New York City, where 'Wicked' originally began its stage run.
Amidst the busy press tour, which included stops in London for a British GQ cover, Erivo made a special visit to her former school in London. There, she surprised an all-girls choir as they performed "For Good," a significant song from the 'Wicked' sequel.
