Derek Hough has sent Dancing With the Stars fans into a bit of a frenzy! It all happened when someone posted speculation about the show doing a Wicked themed night on Season 34. Hough saw the TikTok video<\/a> and replied in the comments, “careful what you wish for,” adding a winky face.<\/p>\n When a fan commented, “Derek don’t play with us,” the longtime DWTS cast member responded, “You think I’m playin.”<\/p>\n Dozens of fans commented on the post, which was later shared to Reddit<\/a> where more fans reacted. Given the popularity of the new Wicked film co-starring Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo, it’s no surprise that Hough’s tease is getting such a huge reaction.<\/p>\n “Rylee did have a wicked song on her DWTS playlist,” one Redditor commented<\/a> on the thread, referring to Rylee Arnold’s Spotify playlist.<\/p>\n “As a theater kid, I need Derek to not play with my emotions like that. A wicked night?!??!? I’d lose my mind. Even if its a broadway night. I’d freaking love that,” someone else said<\/a>.<\/p>\n “Omg!!!” read a third comment<\/a>.<\/p>\n “I’m hoping for Broadway in general but with part two coming out, I feel like there’s a good chance it’ll be Wicked week. Exciting either way!!” a fourth Redditor added<\/a>.<\/p>\n Theme nights on Dancing With the Stars are nothing new. Over the years, one recurring and popular theme night has been Disney Night.<\/p>\n The new season of Dancing With the Stars premieres on Tuesday, Sept. 16 on ABC.<\/p>\n This story was originally reported by Parade<\/a> on Sep 11, 2025, where it first appeared in the Celebs<\/a> section.
