Ariana Grande Stages Surprise ‘Wicked: For Good’ Reunion With Cynthia Erivo During London ‘Eternal Sunshine’ Show
The dynamic duo performed two classic songs from the movie musical during the second date of Grande's 10-night residency at the O2.

Ariana Grande busted out a wicked good surprise for her fans on Sunday night (Aug. 16) at the O2 during the second night of her 10-show run at the London arena when she was joined by Wicked co-star and London native Cynthia Erivo.
The castmates teamed up to perform the Wicked: For Good anthem “For Good,” as well as their mash-up of “Get Happy/Happy Days Are Here Again.” The pair, both dressed in all white, sang the songs on the tour set made-up to look like a cross-section of a moss-covered house. In one video, as Grande angelically sang the pivotal line, “But I know I’m who I am today/ Because I knew you,” Erivo put her hand to her chest and sighed, “Oh my God.”
The duo also reprised their mash-up of “Get Happy/Happy Days Are Here Again,” which they first sang on a primetime Wicked TV special last November.
Grande made her return to the London stage for the first time in seven years this weekend for the final run of shows on her Eternal Sunshine tour. Her 10-gig run at the O2 — slated to wrap on Sept. 1 — kicked off just weeks after Grande announced that she would be taking a “step back” following the conclusion of the tour, which will include her dropping out of a starring role in the revival of Stephen Sondheim’s Sunday in the Park With George that was expected to open on London’s West End next summer.
Following the release of the singer’s Petal studio album, a spokesperson for the singer said in a statement, “Ariana will be taking a step back from visibility after she completes the Eternal Sunshine Tour. She looks forward to finishing the tour and ending it on a high note, both healthily and happily, and then taking a much-deserved break from public-facing work and appearances, which has led to endless, ongoing public scrutiny. This tour has been a beautiful experience for her. She loves her fans and has loved every minute of this tour so much.”
