Fans and families are in for an unforgettable treat. Ahead of the highly anticipated November 21st release of Wicked: For Good, two powerhouse artists Cynthia Erivo and Misty Copeland have joined forces for a once in a lifetime live performance that redefines what it means to feel a song.
Erivo, an Emmy, Grammy, and Tony Award winner and three-time Academy Award nominee, steps into Elphaba’s world with a raw, stripped down rendition of “No Good Deed.” There are no towering orchestrations, no cinematic swell just the haunting pulse of a violin, a deep cello, and her voice rising with breathtaking emotional force. It’s intimate, powerful, and designed to pull viewers straight into Elphaba’s heart, capturing the turmoil and the tenderness behind one of the story’s most iconic moments.

Joining her on this artistic journey is Misty Copeland the one and only. Fresh off her final bow at the American Ballet Theatre, the legendary ballerina ushers in a bold new era with choreography that channels strength, vulnerability, and unwavering intensity. Every movement feels like a story unfolding: sharp, graceful, and filled with the kind of emotional resonance that only Copeland can deliver. Her presence elevates the performance into something more than a musical moment it becomes a visual poem.

Directed by Lauren Finerman and choreographed by Kyle Abraham, the piece blossoms into a celebration of artistry, resilience, and transformation. Finerman’s eye for cinematic emotion and Abraham’s dynamic choreography intertwine beautifully, creating a performance that honors who these artists are individually and who they become together.
For fans, families, and anyone who loves witnessing pure talent unleashed, this reimagined “No Good Deed” isn’t just a performance it’s an event. A striking, soul stirring preview of the world Wicked is about to open for all of us.
