Wicked: For Good | Cynthia Erivo x Misty Copeland - "No Good Deed"
In celebration of the film’s upcoming November 21st release, Emmy, Grammy, and Tony-Award winner and 3x Academy Award nominee Cynthia Erivo, who stars as Elphaba, strips the song down to its emotional core — her voice soaring over the haunting simplicity of a violin and cello. Joining her is legendary ballerina Misty Copeland, whose movement radiates depth, power, and vulnerability, capturing the song’s raw intensity as she steps into a bold new era following her final bow at the American Ballet Theatre.
With music and lyrics by Grammy and Oscar® winner Stephen Schwartz, this raw new interpretation takes “No Good Deed” in a strikingly different direction from the version audiences will hear in Wicked: For Good. Recorded live, the performance unites two artistic luminaries in perfect sync — a cinematic fusion of music and movement that embodies grace, strength and transformation.
Directed by Lauren Finerman and choreographed by Kyle Abraham, the performance is an unforgettable meeting of creative forces that honors their shared artistry.
