Kim Kardashian Hosted Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo At Her House For a Private ‘Wicked’ Screening

The rest of us will have to wait one more month before we can see the first part of director Jon M. Chu’s big screen take on Wicked. Not Kim Kardashian. The Skims founder hosted her own private screening of the movie musical on Tuesday night (Oct. 22) at her home, where she was joined by stars Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo.

She chronicled the special night on her Instagram Story, where fans could watch her narrate the special night, beginning with a walk through the front door flanked by a giant arch of pink balloons. “Okay, I just came home, look what we’re watching tonight,” Kardashian says as she passes a pair of Wicked movie posters and makes her way down the green carpet, past a series of huge pink flower arrangements.

“Look what Cynthia and Ariana set up for us,” she says as she walks up to a giant movie theater lobby standee featuring the co-stars posted in front of the title rendered in towering pink and green letters. “Oh my gosh, I’ve never been more excited,” Kardashian says as she moves further down the green carpet to another room featuring green-draped cocktail tables and another massive standee of Grande and Erivo as Glinda and Elphaba reaching out to each other.

There were, of course, also themed green and pink drinks for Kardashian, her children and family, who all joined her for the screening that took place the night after Kim celebrated her 44th birthday. There was also copious swag for the kids, including Glinda and Elphaba Barbie dolls and Funko! Pop figures. The Story featured a foot pic of sisters Kylie, Khloé and Kourtney, and mother Kris Jenner, all standing in their pink socks and green pajamas, though Grande stood out in her green socks and pink jammies.

The Story ended with a huge group photo of the Kardashian crew — including Kim’s kids, North, Chicago and Psalm West, as well as Kourtney’s daughter Penelope, Khloé’s kids True and Tatum and Kyli’s daughter, Stormi Webster — flanking Grande and Erivo. “We laughed, we cried (a few times) and we loved it so much!” Kim captioned the pic. “Thank you @arianagrande and @cynthiaerivo for watching @wickedmovie with us tonight [pink and green heart emoji]. The most magical pajama party.”

The first part of the big screen adaptation of the Broadway musical — which also co-stars Jeff Goldblum, Michelle Yeoh, Jonathan Bailey, Ethan Slater and Bowen Yang — opens on Nov. 22.
