Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo’s voices appear on a new compilation of their long-awaited musical fantasy film Wicked.
The latest promotion comes just over three weeks before Jon M. Chu’s live-action film adaptation opens in U.S. theaters.
“Wait until you see this,” the Wonderful Wizard of Oz (Jeff Goldblum) says to Elphaba Thropp (Cynthia Erivo), who has already transformed into the Wicked Witch of the West.

And there’s a quick look at Peter Dinklage as the voice of Doctor Dillamond, a goat and a history professor at Shiz University.
