“Dancing With the Stars” brought Broadway flair to the ballroom in Week 6, as the competition celebrated Wicked Night. Ten couples stepped into the spotlight with show-stopping routines inspired by the hit musical’s most iconic songs.
Director Jon M. Chu, who helmed 2024’s “Wicked” and its highly anticipated sequel “Wicked: For Good,” joined the judging panel as a special guest for the October 21 episode. The ballroom turned into a glittering Ozdust Ballroom, with green and pink lights setting the stage for a magical night.
Watch: Danielle Fishel & Pasha Pashkov’s ‘Wicked’ Tango
“Boy Meets World” alum Danielle Fishel and her pro partner, Pasha Pashkov, hit the dance floor for a dramatic tango to “No Good Deed” performed by Cynthia Erivo. Their performance channeled the emotional intensity of Elphaba’s journey, blending fiery precision with fierce storytelling.
Fishel, who continues to impress judges with her dedication and growth, shares that tackling such a powerful number pushed her outside her comfort zone — but that’s precisely what “Wicked Night” is all about. Fishel delivered her most powerful performance yet on Dancing With the Stars Week 6, teaming up with partner Pasha Pashkov for a fiery Argentine Tango to “No Good Deed.”
In her intro package, Danielle said she was ready to embrace her “dark and moody side,” and the result was one of the night’s standout moments.
‘Breakthrough Moment’: Judges React To Fishel’s Dance
Judge Jon Stewart praised her for “rising above any boxes people have put her in,” while Bruno Tonioli called her a “sexy mama full of passion and drama,” saying it was “pure, real Argentine Tango.”
Carrie Ann Inaba described it as Danielle’s “breakthrough moment,” calling her “a powerful woman in action,” and Derek Hough commended her for performing “professional moves,” noting only that she shouldn’t “mistake posture for constriction.”
After earning all 9s for a total of 36 out of 40, Danielle jumped with excitement, celebrating her best score yet and proving she’s becoming one of the most captivating performers of the season.
