Someone put Ariana Grande on Broadway right now. The “God Is a Woman” singer gave everyone chills with her performance of “The Wizard and I” for NBC’s A Very Wicked Halloween. I think it’s about time we officially make Grande the green witch Elphaba, or cast her in literally any Broadway musical. Rent? Hamilton? Anything! Watch the breathtaking run in the video above.

With shimmery emerald lipstick and a silky green dress to match, the pop star commanded the audience during her four-minute performance, celebrating the musical’s 15th anniversary on Monday night. The song was originally performed by Idina Menzel on Broadway, who sang "Defying Gravity" for the special and snapped a pic with Grande after the show.

Grande announced her Sweetener tour last week, which kicks off on in Albany, New York on March 18 and wraps up at Madison Square Garden on June 18. The singer also seems to have an entire new project in the works that could drop before she hits the road. If she’s going for a two-for-one set list, Grande might as well add “The Wizard and I," you know, for good measure.

Check out Grande's full tour dates below. Presale tickets open up on Nov. 1.
