The two join the Tony-winning original Wicked stars Idina Menzel and Kristin Chenoweth, as well as Wicked superfan Ariana Grande, Pentatonix, and the current cast of the long-running musical.

A Very Wicked Halloween: Celebrating 15 Years on Broadway will be taped at the Marquis Theatre with a live audience. Marc Platt produces with Glenn Weiss (who also directs) and Ricky Kirshner of White Cherry Entertainment.

Lambert rose to fame as the runner-up on American Idol in 2009, but prior to then, he appeared in the Los Angeles company of Wicked, understudying the role of Fiyero. R&B singer Ledisi is a 12-time Grammy nominee, most recently for her 2017 album Let Love Rule and singles “All the Way” and “High.”
