The number was introduced by Bowen Yang and Ethan Slater, who walked on stage in neck braces after Ariana‘s “Popular” performance, saying they hurt their necks from trying to flip their hair.
Then, it cut to a pre-taped performance at the Gershwin Theatre, where Wicked plays on Broadway eight shows a week, with composer Stephen Schwartz at the piano.
Cynthia and Ariana then walked on stage and they started the performance of “For Good,” marking the first taste of what fans can expect in the upcoming second movie.
After they both sang verses from the song, Idina and Kristin then walked on stage to join them, singing new lyrics to seemingly pass the torch.
“The years go by fast / The plains keep burning / But we know someday it could be gone,” Idina sings.
Kristin continues with, “It’s nice to know then as the torch gets passed,” with Idina joining to sing together, “You will keep it blazing brightly on.”
They then went on with the rest of the song, singing the final parts with Cynthia and Ariana.
While the full performance has not been officially released, you can watch a clip of the ending above.
If you didn’t catch Wicked: One Wonderful Night on NBC, it will be available to stream on Peacock on Friday (November 7).
Earlier this year, Idina and Kristin reunited on a Broadway stage to sing “For Good” to raise money for Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS following a performance of Idina‘s musical Redwood.
