Let us be glad, let us be grateful: The Wicked: For Good press tour has begun. On November 4, Cynthia Erivo and company jetted to Brazil for the sequel's first official premiere. A Glinda-ified Ariana Grande was noticeably absent from the red carpet, but Erivo held down the fort in Jean Paul Gaultier.
São Paulo's Suhai Music Hall transformed into the Emerald City for one wonderful evening. "What a dream to start this journey with you, Brazil," Erivo wrote on Instagram. It wasn't your regular Wicked screening with the entire leading cast, however. Erivo and Jonathan Bailey's arms were noticeably Grande-less—her flight was grounded last minute to address a "safety issue." The Grammy winner was "beyond devastated" to miss the soirée, but encouraged fans to "shower my incredible cast-mates with all of the love."
