As the excitement builds for the 2025 Oscars in Los Angeles, the anticipation grows with each new announcement of the musical performers set to take the stage.
Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo, both nominated for their roles in Wicked, will take the stage during the ceremony. Although the specific songs Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo will perform remain under wraps, potential options include numbers like “Defying Gravity,” or “What Is This Feeling?”
This announcement comes shortly after Cynthia Erivo’s multiple interviews in which she denied being part of the performance. Good thing she was able to keep her poker face.
