According to Puck News, the 2025 Oscars are all set to kick off in an exciting manner, featuring a joint performance by Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo. They will commence the event with a medley from the popular film adaptation of ‘Wicked,’ a Broadway musical classic.
Even though ‘Wicked’s’ songs aren’t qualified for the Best Original Song award at the Oscars, Grande and her co-star Cynthia Erivo expressed their desire to perform at the event. “Of course, we enjoy singing together,” Grande said. “I’d sing with her anywhere, anytime, especially as a celebration of Wicked. I adore her, she’s my sister. Just tell us to show up and we will be there.
While it hasn’t been officially confirmed yet, some experts within the field are mentioning the same development, expressing a sense of dismay.
As a devoted cinephile, I was excited to hear the original song nominees at this year’s Oscars. However, to my surprise, the Academy has made an unexpected decision – they won’t be showcasing these performances during the ceremony this year. Instead, they plan to kick things off with a medley from the musical “Wicked”. Some believe that this performance might be more fitting for the Tony Awards, which honor theatrical productions.
This year, the Academy decided against showcasing the nominated Best Song performances at the Oscars in favor of a medley from the musical “WICKED.” It seems that this selection is more fitting for the Tonys. My sympathies to all the nominees who appear to have been deemed less deserving of screen time than “Defying Gravity.
