The buzz around Wicked: For Good is building rapidly. With Cynthia Erivo set to host the Tony Awards on June 8, Universal has released the official trailer for the upcoming movie musical.

Broadway enthusiasts will recognize snippets of Erivo and Ariana Grande performing their characters Elphaba and Glinda’s iconic duets, “For Good,” and “No Good Deed.” The emotional connection between Erivo and Grande is palpable.

Chu faces the challenge of surpassing the wedding scene in Crazy Rich Asians. Erivo is heard singing a new melody, presumably Elphaba’s original song, and Glinda will also have a new song. Dorothy makes an appearance, walking on the yellow brick road and receiving instructions to retrieve the Wicked Witch’s broom.
