"People are not going to be well when they see this film," she continued. "It is so good. It is so special. The story is so wonderful and Cynthia [Erivo] and Ariana [Grande] are amazing. The whole cast is amazing. [Director] Jon [M] Chu nailed it."

Chenoweth said she was "so moved, emotional, happy [and] filled with joy" by the movie and urged her followers to go see it.

Chenoweth also said the new version of "Wicked" will only help expand upon the legacy she and Menzel helped create.

"Nobody can take away what Idina and I did in those roles." she noted. "And nobody will be able to take away what new and fun and exciting things that Cynthia and Ariana do."
