In Wicked, we got to see Glinda and Elphaba’s friendship flourish, and in this next movie, we’ll see how they change each other “For Good.” However, right now, we’re amping up for another Wicked press tour,<\/a> and stories from the first film’s press tour are circulating too. This includes a tale from an influencer about how someone spilled a drink on her, and while that is not thrillifying at all, the way Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo came to her rescue was.<\/p>\n Digital content creator Tricia Mpisi spoke on her TikTok<\/a> about being one of the lucky African influencers to attend the European premiere of Wicked last year. But, she recalled a scary incident that occurred during a group photo when someone dressed in a Wicked Witch costume spilled their champagne on her:<\/p>\n It literally felt like I was in a movie. I look down, and I see something break, and then, before you know it, I feel something warm go into my eyes. And I also have mascara and makeup on. And so all of a sudden, the alcohol mixed with the mascara is burning my eyes!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n No wonder she screamed when the drink spilled on her! You\u2019d never anticipate an everyday group photo turning into burning alcohol getting in your eyes. I\u2019d be terrified. However, luckily, the stars of Wicked were there to help her.<\/p>\n One memorable quality we\u2019ll see in the upcoming book-to-screen adaptation<\/a> is the two witches discovering what the true definition of being good is. Well, Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande certainly proved their goodness in the next part of Tricia Mpisi\u2019s crazy story, as she recalled:<\/p>\n As my eyes are closed and burning, I feel somebody hold me, and they\u2019re like, \u2018This is Cynthia Erivo. We\u2019re gonna find you a chair now, okay? You\u2019re gonna be okay.\u2019 I\u2019m not even joking! I was just like, \u2018Yeah, okay!\u2019<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n The influencer continued to talk about how after a chair was pulled for her, Erivo, Ariana Grande, and everyone else rushed to Mpisi\u2019s rescue to wipe the champagne off her face. Despite “struggling to open my eyes,” the digital content creator said she felt comfort in hearing the voices of Erivo and Grande. In fact, the former Nickelodeon star even had a wild idea, as the TikToker recalled:<\/p>\n I’m struggling to open my eyes and I feel somebody wipe my eyes and wipe my hands. […] And part of me was like, \u2018Oh no, I hate that, you know, my dress is ruined and now we\u2019re going to go to the premiere.\u2019 And Ariana Grande was like, \u2018Oh, don\u2019t worry. We can cancel the premiere.\u2019 And then so, I started to laugh and I was like, \u2018Really? You would cancel the premiere for me?\u2019 And she was like, \u2018Yeah, I know a guy.\u2019<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n That really was incredibly sweet for Ariana Grande to offer something like that. And the fact that the two Wicked stars<\/a> never left her side until all of the champagne was wiped off makes it even better. That’s heroism at its finest.<\/p>\n Mpisi made sure to express to TikTokers how much that moment meant to her, explaining that in her home country of South Africa, people don\u2019t usually take the time to help those in trouble. So, the fact that the two actresses turned what she described as an embarrassing moment into \u201ca memorable human moment\u201d is very touching.<\/p>\n While we know that Wicked: For Good<\/a> will show different forms of heroism through Glinda and Elphaba, the good nature of the actresses portraying them rings true in real life. After wiping spilled champagne off the eyes of a TikTok influencer, she\u2019s made sure to convey gratitude to the two actresses helping her feel \u201cwarm and fuzzy and cared for\u201d by the end of the night. It\u2019s a reminder that a special kind of magic can exist outside the realm of movies in the most unexpected ways.<\/p>\n If you\u2019re as excited as Tricia Mpisi to watch Wicked: For Good in theaters, you\u2019ll have your chance very soon as the 2025 movie release<\/a> will hit theaters on November 21st. You can also relive the magic of the movie that started it all with a Peacock subscription<\/a>.<\/p>\n In Wicked, we got to see Glinda and Elphaba’s friendship flourish, and in this next movie, we’ll see how they change each other “For Good.” However, right now, we’re amping up for another Wicked press tour,<\/a> and stories from the first film’s press tour are circulating too.
