Sarah Snook clutching her first Tony Award is not the only reason that the stars are now shining brighter on Broadway.

The presence of US Vogue editor Anna Wintour was a hint of the Met Gala-worthy looks to come from Hollywood actors returning to the stage and Broadway diehards.

Before returning to Wicked promotional duties later this year for the sequel Wicked: For Good, and the inevitable green-themed dresses, Erivo borrowed from co-star Ariana Grande’s preferred palette as Glinda in a velvet blush skirt with an embellished bodice from Schiaparelli’s spring haute couture collection.
