The duo, who originated the iconic roles of Elphaba and Glinda in Wicked back in 2003, sang an emotional rendition of “For Good” — to the delight of a stunned audience.
The surprise appearance was part of a special fundraising effort for Broadway Cares / Equity Fights AIDS. Two generous theatergoers donated $8,000 each — raising $16,000 total — for the opportunity to join the cast on stage and meet them backstage after the show.
