When does DWTS air? How long is ‘Dancing with the Stars’ tonight?

Things are looking a bit green and pink on tonight’s episode of “Dancing With the Stars” Season 34.

Last week, on Tuesday, Oct. 14, it was Dedication Night where the celebrities made emotional tributes to their loved ones who, for the first time in DWTS history, joined them on the ballroom floor. Performances were dedicated to parents, siblings, co-stars, spouses and children.

In a twist, no one was sent home, but the votes and scores gathered from the episode — alongside scores and votes from Wicked Night — will be used to determine who may be in jeopardy of elimination on Tuesday, Oct. 21.

For Wicked Night, the remaining couples will be joined by Jon M. Chu, the director of Oscar-winning “Wicked” and this year’s “Wicked: For Good,” as a special guest judge. The pairs will dance to songs from the films’ iconic soundtracks and during the episode, there will be a never-before-seen clip from “Wicked: For Good,” which is in theaters on Nov. 21.

There will also be a special message from the film’s cast, Academy Award nominees Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande, Emmy Award nominee Jonathan Bailey and Academy Award winner Michelle Yeoh.

Couple dances will include the Argentine Tango, Contemporary, Foxtrot, Jazz, Rumba and Quickstep.
