Still "Wicked": Celebrating 15 Years Of The GRAMMY-Winning Musical
"Wicked" is being honored by Ariana Grande, Pentatonix and more for its 15th anniversary
The GRAMMY-winning Broadway musical Wicked is turning 15 this year, and it's still going strong. The musical that won Best Musical Theatre Album at the 47th GRAMMY Awards is now bringing together GRAMMY nominees Ariana Grande, Ledisi and Adam Lambert as well as GRAMMY winners Pentatonix to perform with original cast members Idina Menzel and Kristin Chenoweth to celebrate the 15 years of magic.

Other presenters included “American Horror Story: Apocalypse” and “Pose” actor Billy Porter, KISS frontman Gene Simmons, Michelle Williams of Destiny’s Child, Derek Hough (“World of Dance”), and Adam Lambert.
They paid tribute to music in different television formats, such as theme songs, variety and talk shows, music videos, television series, award shows, and more. The Paley Archive also showed videos looking back at top music moments in television history, on programs ranging from black-and-white classics like “The Ed Sullivan Show” and “The Twilight Zone,” to modern performances like Kendrick Lamar performing at the Grammy Awards in 2016 or NBC’s “Jesus Christ Superstar” live concert in April.
“Television has the unique ability to bring masses of humanity together in real time to share a moment, either in celebration or mourning,” Lambert said. “It could be a sporting event, like the Super Bowl, a humanitarian appeal, or response to great tragedy — music on television has been the medium with the power and reach to unite a vast audience in common feeling and sense of purpose.”
