“But which is which / Here’s the sitch / We were roommates back at school / Elfie’s awkward / Glinda’s cool,” they sang, trading off lines.
Kristin commented, “This is what I imagine Ari & Cynthia opening @TheAcademy awards tomorrow night is going to be like ????????.”
“In all seriousness, I’m sending my love to the whole @wickedmovie family at the #oscars!! Best of luck to them & to all of the nominees,” she added.
