00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:22,822
Welcome to the spectacular
Emerald City set

11
00:00:22,856 --> 00:00:24,691
from our brand-new movie,
"Wicked."

12
00:00:24,724 --> 00:00:27,727
- This magical place has been
our home for more than a year,

13
00:00:27,761 --> 00:00:30,230
and tonight, finally,
we're excited to share

14
00:00:30,263 --> 00:00:31,865
all of our
"Wicked" secrets with you.

15
00:00:31,898 --> 00:00:33,133
- Let's tell
each other something

16
00:00:33,166 --> 00:00:34,401
we've never told anyone before.

17
00:00:34,434 --> 00:00:36,269
- You might be
a long-time "Wicked" fan,

18
00:00:36,302 --> 00:00:39,239
like us, or taking
your very first outing to Oz.

19
00:00:39,272 --> 00:00:41,708
- Either way, the entire cast
is joining us tonight

20
00:00:41,741 --> 00:00:45,512
to reveal the incredible
process that got us here.

21
00:00:45,545 --> 00:00:48,314
- It is our wonderful
Wizard of Oz, Jeff Goldblum.

22
00:00:48,348 --> 00:00:50,650
- I didn't know they were
going to be best friends.

23
00:00:50,684 --> 00:00:51,885
[laughter]

24
00:00:51,918 --> 00:00:53,386
- I happen to be
genuinely self-absorbed

25
00:00:53,420 --> 00:00:54,621
and deeply shallow.
- Jonathan Bailey.

26
00:00:54,654 --> 00:00:57,223
- Hello!
- Johnny Bailey.

27
00:00:57,257 --> 00:00:59,259
- Could I ask you...
- Anything you want.

28
00:00:59,292 --> 00:01:01,594
- Just to move out the way?
- Absolut-- yeah.

29
00:01:01,628 --> 00:01:02,896
- Bowen Yang.

30
00:01:02,929 --> 00:01:04,564
- Choreographer said,
"You're a dancer, Bowen."

31
00:01:04,597 --> 00:01:06,566
And I believed him.
- Marissa Bode.

32
00:01:06,599 --> 00:01:08,401
- I'm like, "Yes,
pick up the speed please."

33
00:01:08,435 --> 00:01:09,602
- Right.
- "This is so fun."

34
00:01:09,636 --> 00:01:11,304
- Action!
- I'm Boq.

35
00:01:11,338 --> 00:01:12,706
I'm from Munchkinland.

36
00:01:12,739 --> 00:01:13,940
- Ethan Slater.

37
00:01:13,973 --> 00:01:15,709
- So hard not to smile.

38
00:01:15,742 --> 00:01:18,778
- And the iconic
Michelle Yeoh.

39
00:01:18,812 --> 00:01:20,547
- Yes, that was me.

40
00:01:20,580 --> 00:01:22,682
- In this night of exclusives,

41
00:01:22,716 --> 00:01:24,517
we even filmed
footage ourselves...

42
00:01:24,551 --> 00:01:26,453
[together]
The wizard will see you now.

43
00:01:26,486 --> 00:01:29,723
- To share our most personal
"Wicked" memories with you.

44
00:01:29,756 --> 00:01:31,491
- Another day with Glinda.

45
00:01:31,524 --> 00:01:34,327
The dream of my entire life.

46
00:01:34,361 --> 00:01:35,595
And we even brought

47
00:01:35,628 --> 00:01:37,297
an exclusive first look
from the film.

48
00:01:37,330 --> 00:01:40,166
- "Wicked" is all about
expecting the unexpected,

49
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:42,869
and tonight is no different.

50
00:01:42,902 --> 00:01:44,771
- Should we have a little look?
- Oh, please.

51
00:01:44,804 --> 00:01:46,506
- What the heck?

52
00:01:46,539 --> 00:01:49,642

* *

54
00:01:52,479 --> 00:01:54,681
- I am having a hard time
wrapping my head

55
00:01:54,714 --> 00:01:56,416
around the fact that
the time has finally come.

56
00:01:56,449 --> 00:01:57,484
- I know.

57
00:01:57,517 --> 00:01:58,952
- I mean, between
the audition process

58
00:01:58,985 --> 00:02:00,787
and the prep
and the rehearsal

59
00:02:00,820 --> 00:02:02,322
and everything
and actually filming,

60
00:02:02,355 --> 00:02:04,724
it was, like, 2 and 1/2 years.

61
00:02:04,758 --> 00:02:06,626
It's been--
- That's a long time.

62
00:02:06,659 --> 00:02:08,194
- Well, yeah.

63
00:02:08,228 --> 00:02:09,396
- OK, so we can't assume

64
00:02:09,429 --> 00:02:11,631
that everybody knows
what "Wicked" is

65
00:02:11,664 --> 00:02:13,366
or what the story
of "Wicked" is,

66
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:16,469
so we've done you a favor
and put something together

67
00:02:16,503 --> 00:02:18,672
for you to understand
just what we've been doing.

68
00:02:18,705 --> 00:02:20,874
- Yes, we edited this
last night.

69
00:02:20,907 --> 00:02:24,210
[whimsical piano music]

70
00:02:24,244 --> 00:02:25,779
- The story of "Wicked"
is the story

71
00:02:25,812 --> 00:02:27,647
that you don't know from
"The Wizard of Oz."

72
00:02:27,681 --> 00:02:30,684
How did the Wicked Witch
become the Wicked Witch?

73
00:02:30,717 --> 00:02:36,423
- The story of two girls
who are very, very different.

74
00:02:36,456 --> 00:02:39,526
One of whom
is beloved and popular,

75
00:02:39,559 --> 00:02:42,328
and she is who
we come to know as...

76
00:02:42,362 --> 00:02:44,864
- Glinda, Galinda the Good

77
00:02:44,898 --> 00:02:46,666
of the Upper Uplands.

78
00:02:46,700 --> 00:02:49,302
- The other character
is the green girl,

79
00:02:49,336 --> 00:02:52,839
not beloved, not loved even
by her own family,

80
00:02:52,872 --> 00:02:56,810
who possesses, however,
a kind of magic power

81
00:02:56,843 --> 00:02:59,579
that nobody else in Oz
seems to possess.

82
00:02:59,612 --> 00:03:02,315
- Who is what we end up knowing

83
00:03:02,349 --> 00:03:06,619
as the Wicked Witch, Elphaba.

84
00:03:06,653 --> 00:03:09,022
- 25 years ago,
I first came across

85
00:03:09,055 --> 00:03:11,358
Gregory Maguire's novel,
"Wicked."

86
00:03:11,391 --> 00:03:13,293
At the time, I was
developing it as a film.

87
00:03:13,326 --> 00:03:16,696
Each screenplay felt, to me,
that it was missing something.

88
00:03:16,730 --> 00:03:18,798
And then, one day,
I got a phone call

89
00:03:18,832 --> 00:03:20,433
from Stephen Schwartz.

90
00:03:20,467 --> 00:03:22,635
- Listen, I know you're trying
to do this as a movie.

91
00:03:22,669 --> 00:03:25,071
I think it should start
as a stage musical.

92
00:03:25,105 --> 00:03:27,707
I really feel
I know how to do this.

93
00:03:27,741 --> 00:03:29,542
- And the moment
he said "music,"

94
00:03:29,576 --> 00:03:31,378
a light bulb went off
in my head.

95
00:03:31,411 --> 00:03:33,279
We put the show on Broadway.

96
00:03:33,313 --> 00:03:38,084
- The songs, the sisterhood
between Elphaba and Glinda,

97
00:03:38,118 --> 00:03:40,720
Glinda's comedy,
seeing Kristin Chenoweth

98
00:03:40,754 --> 00:03:43,356
originate this role,
seeing her on Broadway...

99
00:03:43,390 --> 00:03:45,558
- I'd never heard anything
or seen anything like it.

100
00:03:45,592 --> 00:03:48,495
I think the idea of turning
the concept

101
00:03:48,528 --> 00:03:50,663
of what "The Wizard of Oz" was
on its head

102
00:03:50,697 --> 00:03:52,866
and seeing it from
someone else's point of view

103
00:03:52,899 --> 00:03:55,068
really shook me.

104
00:03:55,101 --> 00:03:56,903
- When I first
joined "Wicked,"

105
00:03:56,936 --> 00:03:59,039
the number one thing was
let's get the script in shape.

106
00:03:59,072 --> 00:04:01,074
How close was it going to be
for the show?

107
00:04:01,107 --> 00:04:03,376
How cinematic could it be?

108
00:04:03,410 --> 00:04:06,413
But the real heavy lifting,

109
00:04:06,446 --> 00:04:08,415
the big thing
that loomed all over us

110
00:04:08,448 --> 00:04:10,417
was you don't have a story

111
00:04:10,450 --> 00:04:14,654
if you don't have
Glinda and Elphaba.

112
00:04:14,688 --> 00:04:16,890
So we went on
the biggest casting search

113
00:04:16,923 --> 00:04:20,427
that I've ever been a part of
across all continents,

114
00:04:20,460 --> 00:04:25,331
and it took us a long time
to find the right people.

115
00:04:25,365 --> 00:04:27,033
[dramatic music]

116
00:04:27,067 --> 00:04:31,938
- Did you know deep, deep, deep
in your heart and your gut

117
00:04:31,971 --> 00:04:34,374
that this was your role?

118
00:04:34,407 --> 00:04:35,809
- I hoped,
but I don't want to put that--

119
00:04:35,842 --> 00:04:37,410
- Yeah.
- You know what I mean?

120
00:04:37,444 --> 00:04:38,845
I'm like, "Wake me up
when it's over,

121
00:04:38,878 --> 00:04:41,581
"and if it happened,
if it's real,

122
00:04:41,614 --> 00:04:42,749
let me know when it's real."

123
00:04:42,782 --> 00:04:44,517
But I--
- Right, yes.

124
00:04:44,551 --> 00:04:46,953
- What was your process like,
your audition process?

125
00:04:46,986 --> 00:04:49,756
- The audition for me was,
like, three hours

126
00:04:49,789 --> 00:04:53,993
of me singing and acting
with two other actresses.

127
00:04:54,027 --> 00:04:55,795
It was a pretty emotional day.

128
00:04:55,829 --> 00:04:58,131
So I guess I threw everything
into that audition.

129
00:04:58,164 --> 00:05:01,134
[singing intensely]

130
00:05:01,167 --> 00:05:04,437
* *

131
00:05:04,471 --> 00:05:05,972
[piano chord clangs]

132
00:05:06,006 --> 00:05:06,973
- Whoo!

133
00:05:07,007 --> 00:05:08,608
[applause]

134
00:05:08,641 --> 00:05:10,410
- Well, I had
the opposite experience.

135
00:05:10,443 --> 00:05:11,811
I stalked Marc Platt
for ten years...

136
00:05:11,845 --> 00:05:12,846
- [chuckles]

137
00:05:12,879 --> 00:05:16,649
- Wondering, when would
an audition be possible?

138
00:05:16,683 --> 00:05:19,819
As I kind of got wind that it
was coming closer and closer,

139
00:05:19,853 --> 00:05:23,089
I went to voice lessons and
acting lessons and, every day,

140
00:05:23,123 --> 00:05:26,026
was trying to get ready because
it's so different vocally

141
00:05:26,059 --> 00:05:27,193
from what I usually sing.

142
00:05:27,227 --> 00:05:29,429
* Less fortunate than I *

143
00:05:29,462 --> 00:05:30,964
* And let's face it *

144
00:05:30,997 --> 00:05:34,834
And I remember,
by the end of my final test,

145
00:05:34,868 --> 00:05:37,504
my eyelashes were...
- [laughs]

146
00:05:37,537 --> 00:05:38,872
- Nowhere near
where they should be.

147
00:05:38,905 --> 00:05:39,973
They were here.

148
00:05:40,006 --> 00:05:41,808
So I was like,
"Thank you so much.

149
00:05:41,841 --> 00:05:44,644
Well--" and I stuck them
on the mirror.

150
00:05:44,678 --> 00:05:47,414
I was like, "Well, bye.
That's all, folks."

151
00:05:47,447 --> 00:05:49,516
I went to the car
and collapsed.

152
00:05:49,549 --> 00:05:52,686
And then, from then, it was
3 and 1/2 weeks, I think.

153
00:05:52,719 --> 00:05:54,120
- Yeah,
actually hearing the words

154
00:05:54,154 --> 00:05:58,425
that the part was mine was
beyond a dream come true.

155
00:05:58,458 --> 00:05:59,759
I finally get the call.

156
00:05:59,793 --> 00:06:02,629
- And, Cynthia, I don't know
what [...] planet

157
00:06:02,662 --> 00:06:04,798
you came from,
but we are so blessed

158
00:06:04,831 --> 00:06:06,966
to have you
in the room every time

159
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:09,502
we meet you, every time
I get to talk to you.

160
00:06:09,536 --> 00:06:11,971
- And there's utter disbelief.

161
00:06:12,005 --> 00:06:15,875
- And we would love for you
to be our Elphaba in "Wicked."

162
00:06:15,909 --> 00:06:18,111
- I cover my eyes,
and I cry my eyes out,

163
00:06:18,144 --> 00:06:20,046
because you just don't
expect it to happen

164
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:22,649
when it happens even if
you know it might happen.

165
00:06:22,682 --> 00:06:23,950
You know?
- Mm-hmm, it's a wild feeling.

166
00:06:23,983 --> 00:06:25,485
- Yeah.

167
00:06:25,518 --> 00:06:27,620
- To wait so long,
and finally the call came.

168
00:06:27,654 --> 00:06:29,889
- We made you wait a long time

169
00:06:29,923 --> 00:06:31,591
for all your auditions
and things,

170
00:06:31,624 --> 00:06:33,727
and you came in,
you told us how much

171
00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:35,228
"Wicked" means to you.
[dog barking]

172
00:06:35,261 --> 00:06:37,464
You've written letters...

173
00:06:37,497 --> 00:06:39,232
- Toulouse!
Toulouse, stop! Toulouse!

174
00:06:39,265 --> 00:06:40,233
[dog barking]

175
00:06:40,266 --> 00:06:41,935
Toulouse!

176
00:06:41,968 --> 00:06:43,570
- My kid's running around,
too, so it's all good.

177
00:06:43,603 --> 00:06:44,804
- I'm sorry.

178
00:06:44,838 --> 00:06:46,172
Just like you,
it's, like, that feeling

179
00:06:46,206 --> 00:06:47,741
when all of a sudden...
- All this to say...

180
00:06:47,774 --> 00:06:50,744
- And you're like,
"Hm, if I didn't get it,

181
00:06:50,777 --> 00:06:51,911
this is the meanest way..."

182
00:06:51,945 --> 00:06:53,613
- It's the worst way
to find out.

183
00:06:53,646 --> 00:06:55,815
- "Someone could
ever tell me ever."

184
00:06:55,849 --> 00:06:58,585
- 'Cause we want you
to be our Glinda the Good

185
00:06:58,618 --> 00:07:01,187
in the "Wicked" freaking movie.

186
00:07:01,221 --> 00:07:06,893
- [laughing, gasping]
I don't know what to say!

187
00:07:06,926 --> 00:07:10,296
Oh, my God, thank you so much!

188
00:07:10,330 --> 00:07:11,731
I love her so much!

189
00:07:11,765 --> 00:07:13,199
I'm going to take
such good care of her!

190
00:07:13,233 --> 00:07:15,935
Thank you so much!

191
00:07:15,969 --> 00:07:17,937
I don't believe it still.
Today, I don't believe it.

192
00:07:17,971 --> 00:07:20,273
- It's so crazy.
We actually did that.

193
00:07:20,306 --> 00:07:23,176
- [chuckles]
That's crazy.

194
00:07:23,209 --> 00:07:26,112
Thank God.
Thank Oz.

195
00:07:26,146 --> 00:07:28,048
- Thank goodness.

196
00:07:28,081 --> 00:07:29,616
- Pink goes good with green.

197
00:07:29,649 --> 00:07:33,620
- Goes well with green.
- It so does.

198
00:07:33,653 --> 00:07:36,623
[soft piano music]

199
00:07:36,656 --> 00:07:43,830
* *

200
00:07:48,368 --> 00:07:51,137
My Miss Elphaba.

201
00:07:52,906 --> 00:07:55,709
Look at you.

202
00:07:55,742 --> 00:08:00,814
Hm, you're beautiful.

203
00:08:00,847 --> 00:08:03,650
- I think the thing people
are so attracted to...

204
00:08:03,683 --> 00:08:06,086
- Yeah.
- Is the story of sisterhood

205
00:08:06,119 --> 00:08:08,154
and best friendship
and the laughter

206
00:08:08,188 --> 00:08:11,725
and the love
and the connection there,

207
00:08:11,758 --> 00:08:14,194
but also what lies beneath it

208
00:08:14,227 --> 00:08:16,363
and the story that it tells
on a bigger scale

209
00:08:16,396 --> 00:08:19,899
is so relevant
and necessary today,

210
00:08:19,933 --> 00:08:22,002
and it's just so beautiful.

211
00:08:22,035 --> 00:08:25,839
- Both of these characters
have such differences in them,

212
00:08:25,872 --> 00:08:27,741
and they're both quirky
in their own ways,

213
00:08:27,774 --> 00:08:30,343
but I think that that
makes them really beautiful.

214
00:08:30,377 --> 00:08:31,911
- Mm-hmm.

215
00:08:31,945 --> 00:08:33,913
- I think there's
a wonderful essence

216
00:08:33,947 --> 00:08:35,849
of trying to share
with everyone

217
00:08:35,882 --> 00:08:39,819
that one's difference
doesn't make them wrong or bad.

218
00:08:39,853 --> 00:08:41,287
It just makes them special.

219
00:08:41,321 --> 00:08:44,724
And I think that that's
a bigger, wider idea

220
00:08:44,758 --> 00:08:46,960
that we can all share
with the world, yeah.

221
00:08:46,993 --> 00:08:50,363
- * Something has changed
within me *

222
00:08:50,397 --> 00:08:53,033
[soaring orchestral music]

223
00:08:53,066 --> 00:08:55,001
- She doesn't give a twig
what anyone thinks.

224
00:08:55,035 --> 00:08:57,837
- * Something is
not the same *

225
00:08:57,871 --> 00:09:01,608
- Of course, she does.
She just pretends not to.

226
00:09:01,641 --> 00:09:03,209
* *

227
00:09:03,243 --> 00:09:07,247
- Hi, I'm Michelle Yeoh,
the influential headmistress,

228
00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:08,615
Madame Morrible.

229
00:09:08,648 --> 00:09:11,017
- [claps]
Listen!

230
00:09:11,051 --> 00:09:14,621
- Still to come on
"Defying Gravity,"

231
00:09:14,654 --> 00:09:16,423
costumes,

232
00:09:16,456 --> 00:09:18,725
choreography,

233
00:09:18,758 --> 00:09:20,326
music,

234
00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:25,065
the Wonderful Wizard of Oz
himself, Jeff Goldblum,

235
00:09:25,098 --> 00:09:27,967
and the dashing
Jonathan Bailey.

236
00:09:28,001 --> 00:09:29,336
- Johnny Bailey.

237
00:09:29,369 --> 00:09:30,970
- Can I talk
about "Wicked" too?

238
00:09:31,004 --> 00:09:34,741
- So don't go anywhere
as we raise the curtain

239
00:09:34,774 --> 00:09:38,345
on more secrets and surprises.

240
00:09:45,251 --> 00:09:45,719
.

241
00:09:45,752 --> 00:09:46,319
[soaring orchestral music]

242
00:09:48,188 --> 00:09:49,923
- Like,
they don't even know that--

243
00:09:49,956 --> 00:09:52,792
they talk amongst themselves
and don't hear the world.

244
00:09:52,826 --> 00:09:54,794
Like, we can talk about them
out loud,

245
00:09:54,828 --> 00:09:58,164
and they don't even know what's
happening in the outside world.

246
00:09:58,198 --> 00:10:00,433
Like, they have no idea that
we're talking about them...

247
00:10:00,467 --> 00:10:01,935
- Wait, what?

248
00:10:01,968 --> 00:10:03,303
- Because they're just
in their own world.

249
00:10:03,336 --> 00:10:04,938
- What are you talking about?

250
00:10:04,971 --> 00:10:06,740
- When you guys talk to
each other, nobody exists.

251
00:10:06,773 --> 00:10:07,807
[laughter]

252
00:10:07,841 --> 00:10:09,042
- Hello.
- Johnny Bailey.

253
00:10:09,075 --> 00:10:10,744
- Good to see you.
- Hello, ladies.

254
00:10:10,777 --> 00:10:12,012
- Jonathan.
- Hi.

255
00:10:12,045 --> 00:10:13,179
- Come and hang out
with me over here.

256
00:10:13,213 --> 00:10:14,481
- Shut up.
- By the Winkie machine.

257
00:10:14,514 --> 00:10:15,849
- County, yes, yes.
- Yeah.

258
00:10:15,882 --> 00:10:17,717
I am the captain
of the Winkie county.

259
00:10:17,751 --> 00:10:18,885
- [laughs]

260
00:10:18,918 --> 00:10:21,788
- I'm Fiyero Tigelaar.

261
00:10:21,821 --> 00:10:24,457
Winkie Country.
- Oh, Oz.

262
00:10:24,491 --> 00:10:27,293
[crowd murmuring]

263
00:10:27,327 --> 00:10:30,430
- What is your relationship
to "Wicked,"

264
00:10:30,463 --> 00:10:32,165
what you felt when you saw it,
all those things?

265
00:10:32,198 --> 00:10:33,266
- First "Wicked" memory?

266
00:10:33,299 --> 00:10:35,035
- Well, you know,
the first time I saw it,

267
00:10:35,068 --> 00:10:37,137
I saw a preview when it
first came over to London...

268
00:10:37,170 --> 00:10:38,505
- Oh, wow.

269
00:10:38,538 --> 00:10:40,940
- With Idina Menzel and
Adam Garcia playing Fiyero.

270
00:10:40,974 --> 00:10:43,176
And, obviously,
it was mind-blowing,

271
00:10:43,209 --> 00:10:47,013
but I remember specifically
that Idina Menzel corpse

272
00:10:47,047 --> 00:10:49,349
and was giggling
in a brilliant way,

273
00:10:49,382 --> 00:10:51,151
and I really enjoyed that.

274
00:10:51,184 --> 00:10:52,986
So that was my first
introduction to it,

275
00:10:53,019 --> 00:10:55,121
and I feel like we've kept
that going, that legacy,

276
00:10:55,155 --> 00:10:56,756
of giggling
all the way through.

277
00:10:56,790 --> 00:10:58,358
- My first experience
was with the music

278
00:10:58,391 --> 00:11:00,393
first before seeing the show.
- Yeah.

279
00:11:00,427 --> 00:11:03,363
- And I learned it all before
I actually saw the show.

280
00:11:03,396 --> 00:11:05,298
And then, finally,
for my 25th birthday,

281
00:11:05,331 --> 00:11:07,200
I took myself
to see it by myself.

282
00:11:07,233 --> 00:11:09,302
- That's so cute.
- I went on a solo date.

283
00:11:09,336 --> 00:11:11,338
- So you would have been
a bit younger.

284
00:11:11,371 --> 00:11:12,505
- I was ten years old.

285
00:11:12,539 --> 00:11:14,841
I had the incredible privilege

286
00:11:14,874 --> 00:11:16,209
of seeing the original
Broadway cast.

287
00:11:16,242 --> 00:11:18,545
I ended up being able
to go backstage,

288
00:11:18,578 --> 00:11:20,880
and then I went to
Kristen's dressing room,

289
00:11:20,914 --> 00:11:22,549
and she didn't do, like,
a pause at the door

290
00:11:22,582 --> 00:11:24,384
and, like, a hello.
She literally was like...

291
00:11:24,417 --> 00:11:26,219
[as Kristin Chenoweth]
"Oh, come in! Come in!"

292
00:11:26,252 --> 00:11:27,120
[laughter]

293
00:11:27,153 --> 00:11:28,521
And she gave, like, me a wand.

294
00:11:28,555 --> 00:11:30,190
She gave me
a little pink body wash.

295
00:11:30,223 --> 00:11:33,226
She said it was magical,
and it may have been, actually.

296
00:11:33,259 --> 00:11:35,762
Her dog peed on the couch.
I helped her clean it up.

297
00:11:35,795 --> 00:11:37,831
It was like a dream.

298
00:11:37,864 --> 00:11:40,100
- I'm so sorry, Miss.
We didn't see you there.

299
00:11:40,133 --> 00:11:44,137
You must have...
blended with the foliage.

300
00:11:44,170 --> 00:11:45,772
- Is this how
you go through life,

301
00:11:45,805 --> 00:11:48,375
just running amok and trampling
anyone in your path?

302
00:11:48,408 --> 00:11:49,376
- No.

303
00:11:49,409 --> 00:11:51,044
[horse snorts]

304
00:11:51,077 --> 00:11:53,346
No, sometimes I'm asleep.

305
00:11:53,380 --> 00:11:55,915
- One thing from the original
theater production

306
00:11:55,949 --> 00:11:58,251
that everyone loved
is the sets.

307
00:11:58,284 --> 00:12:00,887
We're going to now have a look
at how Nathan Crowley,

308
00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:02,322
our incredible
production designer,

309
00:12:02,355 --> 00:12:04,424
created these
extraordinary worlds

310
00:12:04,457 --> 00:12:06,026
that we existed in.

311
00:12:06,059 --> 00:12:09,029
[enchanting music]

312
00:12:09,062 --> 00:12:11,064
- Cinema to me has to be epic.

313
00:12:11,097 --> 00:12:12,065
If we're going to make
"Wicked,"

314
00:12:12,098 --> 00:12:13,466
it has to be cinematic.

315
00:12:13,500 --> 00:12:15,502
We have to do something
the stage show can't do.

316
00:12:15,535 --> 00:12:17,404
We have to show
this incredible world.

317
00:12:17,437 --> 00:12:18,605
We have to go behind
the scenes

318
00:12:18,638 --> 00:12:19,906
and show everything.

319
00:12:19,939 --> 00:12:22,042
* *

320
00:12:22,075 --> 00:12:24,277
How do you make
this fantastical place

321
00:12:24,310 --> 00:12:27,080
that we've never seen before?

322
00:12:27,113 --> 00:12:29,215
How do you find
a way in visually?

323
00:12:29,249 --> 00:12:33,620
You have to make up
your own version of it.

324
00:12:33,653 --> 00:12:35,955
- Our version is,
we build that [ding].

325
00:12:35,989 --> 00:12:38,458
We build it.

326
00:12:38,491 --> 00:12:42,829
We knew that we wanted Oz
to be immersive.

327
00:12:42,862 --> 00:12:45,131
Let's touch it.
Let's feel it.

328
00:12:45,165 --> 00:12:49,302
We can actually go into
the forest and climb a tree.

329
00:12:49,336 --> 00:12:53,273
We got to grow
9 million tulips.

330
00:12:53,306 --> 00:12:57,143
We got to build Munchkinland.

331
00:12:57,177 --> 00:13:00,080
We got to build
the yellow brick road.

332
00:13:00,113 --> 00:13:01,981
- Ah, this is the first time

333
00:13:02,015 --> 00:13:05,452
I've seen this train
come into this city.

334
00:13:05,485 --> 00:13:07,187
Brilliant, that's the image
I've been waiting for.

335
00:13:07,220 --> 00:13:09,289
Let's go back here
and look at it.

336
00:13:09,322 --> 00:13:11,958
- You want to touch the walls
of the Emerald City,

337
00:13:11,991 --> 00:13:13,360
see your reflection in it.

338
00:13:13,393 --> 00:13:15,161
- This is
the throne room theater,

339
00:13:15,195 --> 00:13:18,631
and what you're standing under
is the animatronic

340
00:13:18,665 --> 00:13:22,135
physical head that is going up
here on these hydraulic rigs

341
00:13:22,168 --> 00:13:25,005
and is going to be
puppeteered...

342
00:13:25,038 --> 00:13:29,676
- I am Oz.

343
00:13:29,709 --> 00:13:31,211
- [whispers]
Say something.

344
00:13:31,244 --> 00:13:32,412
Say something.
- What am I supposed to say?

345
00:13:32,445 --> 00:13:33,980
- Anything.

346
00:13:34,014 --> 00:13:35,915
- We have a lot of nature
embedded in

347
00:13:35,949 --> 00:13:37,417
the production design.

348
00:13:37,450 --> 00:13:40,487
We really wanted Oz to be
a place of deeper power,

349
00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:44,290
that there is synergy
of nature that comes through,

350
00:13:44,324 --> 00:13:46,459
and part of that is
this animal community.

351
00:13:46,493 --> 00:13:50,196
They work side-by-side
with other human Ozians.

352
00:13:50,230 --> 00:13:52,565
They've been professors.
They've been doctors.

353
00:13:52,599 --> 00:13:54,634
They've been students.

354
00:13:54,668 --> 00:13:58,204
We have this animal band
that's playing in the Ozdust.

355
00:13:58,238 --> 00:14:00,540
There's also the beloved
Doctor Dillamond.

356
00:14:00,573 --> 00:14:03,143
He has these gadgets
that allow him to use

357
00:14:03,176 --> 00:14:05,578
a magnifying glass
or sweep the floor.

358
00:14:05,612 --> 00:14:07,714
The tables are different
shapes and sizes

359
00:14:07,747 --> 00:14:09,683
and different heights,
and bowls are different ways

360
00:14:09,716 --> 00:14:11,217
for different animals to eat.

361
00:14:11,251 --> 00:14:13,687
They are a culture
that is deeply embedded

362
00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:16,022
in the land of Oz,

363
00:14:16,056 --> 00:14:18,591
and all of this didn't
just take production design.

364
00:14:18,625 --> 00:14:21,561
It took special effects.
It took visual effects.

365
00:14:21,594 --> 00:14:24,564
That sense of detail
makes you believe

366
00:14:24,597 --> 00:14:27,567
that Oz actually exists.

367
00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:30,637
[enchanting music]

368
00:14:30,670 --> 00:14:32,739
* *

369
00:14:32,772 --> 00:14:34,207
- Look what I found.

370
00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:35,642
- Yeah, my pile of things
that I'm stealing.

371
00:14:35,675 --> 00:14:37,077
- Let's see.

372
00:14:37,110 --> 00:14:38,745
- I'm excited to attempt
to get through

373
00:14:38,778 --> 00:14:42,282
airport security with this.
I will take-- you can't--

374
00:14:42,315 --> 00:14:44,951
I don't think I'll be stopped.
- No, you should--

375
00:14:44,984 --> 00:14:46,186
- You know?
We have to take...

376
00:14:46,219 --> 00:14:47,454
- Yes, for sure.
- These home.

377
00:14:47,487 --> 00:14:49,055
But it's, like,
kind of emotional.

378
00:14:49,089 --> 00:14:50,423
- Yeah, you become
really attached to them.

379
00:14:50,457 --> 00:14:52,158
- I don't want to let go of it.
- Yeah.

380
00:14:52,192 --> 00:14:53,593
- Yeah, and we have
Elphie's things here,

381
00:14:53,626 --> 00:14:57,230
these beautiful, beautiful
hat and iconic broom.

382
00:14:57,263 --> 00:14:59,065
- I wouldn't be surprised
if you grew the tree

383
00:14:59,099 --> 00:15:01,101
and you etched it yourself.

384
00:15:01,134 --> 00:15:04,704
- I knew that I wanted it
to feel really organic.

385
00:15:04,738 --> 00:15:06,339
- How does that feel for you?
- I love it.

386
00:15:06,373 --> 00:15:09,175
So John and I set about
looking for, like,

387
00:15:09,209 --> 00:15:10,777
the roots of different trees.

388
00:15:10,810 --> 00:15:12,112
- Mangroves, isn't it?

389
00:15:12,145 --> 00:15:13,380
- Mangroves,
that's right, yeah.

390
00:15:13,413 --> 00:15:14,981
- Made it really easy
for you to catch.

391
00:15:15,015 --> 00:15:16,449
- Yes, well, the thing is,

392
00:15:16,483 --> 00:15:19,085
I got really used to,
like, how to hold it

393
00:15:19,119 --> 00:15:20,587
and how to catch it
if I needed to.

394
00:15:20,620 --> 00:15:23,089
- But she can catch a broom.
It can be anywhere.

395
00:15:23,123 --> 00:15:25,025
- But I think I just got
really attached to it.

396
00:15:25,058 --> 00:15:26,793
I sort of, like, understood it.

397
00:15:26,826 --> 00:15:28,294
- I almost broke my nose
on a broom.

398
00:15:28,328 --> 00:15:29,662
- This is true.
- This is true.

399
00:15:29,696 --> 00:15:32,198
I was supposed to catch one.
My face caught it.

400
00:15:32,232 --> 00:15:34,467
- That was a day.
- Yeah, it was wild.

401
00:15:34,501 --> 00:15:36,369
- You two on set,
it's like a live wire

402
00:15:36,403 --> 00:15:39,406
and an earth wire together,
and it's interesting.

403
00:15:39,439 --> 00:15:41,274
You see these two props here,

404
00:15:41,307 --> 00:15:43,443
and they're so reflective
of this sort of

405
00:15:43,476 --> 00:15:45,311
special nature of both of you.

406
00:15:45,345 --> 00:15:48,248
- We're so lucky to have these
physically grounding pieces...

407
00:15:48,281 --> 00:15:50,684
Jess, is this your favorite one
to put on me?

408
00:15:50,717 --> 00:15:52,619
When you put the costume on,
when you put her shoes on,

409
00:15:52,652 --> 00:15:55,288
when you hold our things
and wear our crowns,

410
00:15:55,321 --> 00:15:57,223
when we're supported by
such brilliant artists

411
00:15:57,257 --> 00:15:58,591
who designed these pieces

412
00:15:58,625 --> 00:16:01,261
that just take it
to the next level.

413
00:16:01,294 --> 00:16:03,329
[dramatic music]

414
00:16:03,363 --> 00:16:05,465
- So let's talk about the fact
that obviously

415
00:16:05,498 --> 00:16:07,100
it's pink and green...
- Yes.

416
00:16:07,133 --> 00:16:09,102
- But you were
actually, literally,

417
00:16:09,135 --> 00:16:10,704
green every day.
- Very true.

418
00:16:10,737 --> 00:16:12,605
So I knew that
if I looked at myself

419
00:16:12,639 --> 00:16:14,441
and didn't see the green,
I don't think I could have

420
00:16:14,474 --> 00:16:16,509
made the connection to Elphaba
as much as I did.

421
00:16:16,543 --> 00:16:19,479
And something happens
when all of that green is on,

422
00:16:19,512 --> 00:16:22,349
the freckles go on,
and the hair goes on,

423
00:16:22,382 --> 00:16:24,351
the makeup goes on,
the eyes go on,

424
00:16:24,384 --> 00:16:27,854
and it's not me I'm looking at.
It's her.

425
00:16:27,887 --> 00:16:30,156
But also, something happens
when you walk into a room,

426
00:16:30,190 --> 00:16:32,058
especially when you have
lots of

427
00:16:32,092 --> 00:16:33,526
background artists
in the room,

428
00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:34,861
and the first time
they meet you,

429
00:16:34,894 --> 00:16:36,463
you're green.
- Yeah.

430
00:16:36,496 --> 00:16:39,366
- Something happens
to the DNA in the space.

431
00:16:39,399 --> 00:16:40,633
- I agree.
The energy shifts.

432
00:16:40,667 --> 00:16:41,634
- Yeah.

433
00:16:41,668 --> 00:16:44,771
* *

434
00:16:44,804 --> 00:16:47,640
- Oh!
You're green.

435
00:16:47,674 --> 00:16:49,542
* *

436
00:16:49,576 --> 00:16:51,211
- I am.

437
00:16:51,244 --> 00:16:53,513
- Coming up, our fellow Ozians

438
00:16:53,546 --> 00:16:55,548
will be reflecting
on their time in Oz.

439
00:16:55,582 --> 00:16:56,583
Bowen Yang...

440
00:16:56,616 --> 00:16:57,851
- Hey.
- Hi

441
00:16:57,884 --> 00:16:59,285
- Marissa Bode...

442
00:16:59,319 --> 00:17:00,720
- This is my younger sister,
Nessarose.

443
00:17:00,754 --> 00:17:02,088
- And...
- Boq Woodsman...

444
00:17:02,122 --> 00:17:04,224
- Ethan Slater.
- Of Munchkinland.

445
00:17:04,257 --> 00:17:06,760
- So don't go flying off.
We'll be right back.

446
00:17:13,199 --> 00:17:13,366
.

447
00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:13,967
[soaring orchestral music]

448
00:17:16,302 --> 00:17:18,838
- Everyone say hi.
- Hi, honey.

449
00:17:18,872 --> 00:17:22,275
- Sweetheart, you can take
the girl out of Shiz,

450
00:17:22,308 --> 00:17:24,344
but you can't take the Shiz
out of the girl.

451
00:17:24,377 --> 00:17:26,680
- Oy vey, is that the truth.

452
00:17:26,713 --> 00:17:28,148
Welcome back.

453
00:17:28,181 --> 00:17:29,816
Now, as you know,
a lot of our movie

454
00:17:29,849 --> 00:17:31,484
is set in the Emerald City,

455
00:17:31,518 --> 00:17:34,554
but our characters meet
at dear old Shiz University.

456
00:17:34,587 --> 00:17:37,223
- And that's where
we're heading now.

457
00:17:37,257 --> 00:17:40,427
[cheers and applause]

458
00:17:42,462 --> 00:17:43,930
- Welcome new students.

459
00:17:43,963 --> 00:17:48,702
And "congratulotions" for
having been accepted to Shiz.

460
00:17:48,735 --> 00:17:52,539
We have nothing but
the highest hopes

461
00:17:52,572 --> 00:17:54,541
for some of you.

462
00:17:54,574 --> 00:17:56,476
[crowd chuckles]

463
00:17:56,509 --> 00:17:59,145
[applause]

464
00:17:59,179 --> 00:18:00,714
- We're at Shiz!

465
00:18:00,747 --> 00:18:02,482
We're at our school.

466
00:18:02,515 --> 00:18:04,150
- I don't know how familiar
people are with the story,

467
00:18:04,184 --> 00:18:08,188
but Boq arrives at Shiz
on the same day as everyone.

468
00:18:08,221 --> 00:18:10,824
You know, Boq sees Glinda
and is so overwhelmed

469
00:18:10,857 --> 00:18:12,525
with this, like, love
that he's feeling for her

470
00:18:12,559 --> 00:18:13,860
right away.
- I'm Boq.

471
00:18:13,893 --> 00:18:16,963
- This huge crush.
- I'm from Munchkinland.

472
00:18:16,996 --> 00:18:18,498
- Yes.

473
00:18:18,531 --> 00:18:21,201
- And she redirects his energy
towards Nessa,

474
00:18:21,234 --> 00:18:22,502
which is--
- Yes, terrible.

475
00:18:22,535 --> 00:18:23,970
- Go ask her right now?
- Why not?

476
00:18:24,004 --> 00:18:25,338
She's right there.

477
00:18:25,372 --> 00:18:26,740
- Which is...
- Not great.

478
00:18:26,773 --> 00:18:28,475
- Just hard,
but also is the beginning

479
00:18:28,508 --> 00:18:30,777
of this relationship
between the two of them.

480
00:18:30,810 --> 00:18:32,345
- Yeah.

481
00:18:32,379 --> 00:18:33,947
- Well, it unfolds
in a really fun way.

482
00:18:33,980 --> 00:18:36,316
- I think you guys had
the very challenging thing

483
00:18:36,349 --> 00:18:37,951
of selling,
through the choreography,

484
00:18:37,984 --> 00:18:40,353
like, the courtship
between Nessa and Boq.

485
00:18:40,387 --> 00:18:42,822
I actually have, like,
some amazing videos

486
00:18:42,856 --> 00:18:45,859
on my phone of the two of us,
but, like, early on.

487
00:18:45,892 --> 00:18:48,194
- Like, I've done
no choreography

488
00:18:48,228 --> 00:18:49,829
in my life, really.

489
00:18:49,863 --> 00:18:52,766
I'm so grateful that they hired
a wheelchair dancer

490
00:18:52,799 --> 00:18:54,768
to help choreograph it
because I feel like

491
00:18:54,801 --> 00:18:56,803
nobody knows better, like, how
to move throughout the space.

492
00:18:56,836 --> 00:18:58,938
- She's amazing.
- So amazing.

493
00:18:58,972 --> 00:19:00,707
- I also dance in this film.

494
00:19:00,740 --> 00:19:02,842
- * Dear Galinda,
you are just too good *

495
00:19:02,876 --> 00:19:04,878
- I had to sell the idea

496
00:19:04,911 --> 00:19:06,680
that we were, like,
extensions of Glinda,

497
00:19:06,713 --> 00:19:08,381
right, that we were
flanking her at all times.

498
00:19:08,415 --> 00:19:09,983
So we had to, like,
be like Ari,

499
00:19:10,016 --> 00:19:12,385
in the choreography, at least.

500
00:19:12,419 --> 00:19:14,721
I passed you.
Damn it!

501
00:19:14,754 --> 00:19:15,822
[laughter]

502
00:19:15,855 --> 00:19:17,657
Christopher Scott,
our choreographer,

503
00:19:17,691 --> 00:19:20,860
pulled one on me and said,
"You're a dancer, Bowen."

504
00:19:20,894 --> 00:19:21,895
And I believed him.

505
00:19:21,928 --> 00:19:23,697
- * Nothing matters *

506
00:19:23,730 --> 00:19:25,932
- And then I realized that
he did that to everybody.

507
00:19:25,965 --> 00:19:27,233
No, everybody was a dancer,

508
00:19:27,267 --> 00:19:28,535
and he really did
make you believe.

509
00:19:28,568 --> 00:19:29,803
He gave you the confidence...
- Yeah.

510
00:19:29,836 --> 00:19:31,338
- And the tools.

511
00:19:31,371 --> 00:19:33,440
Every part of the choreography
told a story.

512
00:19:33,473 --> 00:19:36,443
[dramatic music]

513
00:19:36,476 --> 00:19:38,044
* *

514
00:19:38,078 --> 00:19:42,549
- Movement is such a huge part
of the language in Oz.

515
00:19:42,582 --> 00:19:44,918
Movement is an expression
of your feelings.

516
00:19:44,951 --> 00:19:47,921
When words aren't enough,
what makes it feel like

517
00:19:47,954 --> 00:19:50,290
the best night of your life.

518
00:19:50,323 --> 00:19:54,027
- To create a world
through song, through dance,

519
00:19:54,060 --> 00:19:55,762
is really challenging.

520
00:19:55,795 --> 00:19:58,431
The story has influenced
every piece of choreography.

521
00:19:58,465 --> 00:19:59,799
It becomes a language,

522
00:19:59,833 --> 00:20:02,469
and it becomes dialogue
that they're having.

523
00:20:02,502 --> 00:20:04,971
- How do we create this
so it feels

524
00:20:05,005 --> 00:20:07,607
like it's of you, from you?

525
00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:11,711
How do we make it
feel connected?

526
00:20:11,745 --> 00:20:14,280
- But also finding beats
to build in comedy?

527
00:20:14,314 --> 00:20:17,550
Respectfully, this might be
the Glinda-fied version,

528
00:20:17,584 --> 00:20:20,653
and that was
a fun balance to find.

529
00:20:20,687 --> 00:20:22,822
- There was so much space given
to come in

530
00:20:22,856 --> 00:20:24,891
and create something
of your own.

531
00:20:24,924 --> 00:20:27,293
- I've been seeing people
come up with new ideas

532
00:20:27,327 --> 00:20:28,862
of how to play off of
the architecture,

533
00:20:28,895 --> 00:20:31,331
and it just changes the way
that you move your body.

534
00:20:31,364 --> 00:20:32,732
- We find the spaces.

535
00:20:32,766 --> 00:20:34,467
We find the nooks and crannies

536
00:20:34,501 --> 00:20:37,470
that we work into
our choreography,

537
00:20:37,504 --> 00:20:40,607
our blocking, our camera work.

538
00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:43,977
- We had this massively
huge set for Glinda's suite.

539
00:20:44,010 --> 00:20:47,013
It became this huge playground
for Jon, me, and Chris

540
00:20:47,047 --> 00:20:50,650
to start to experiment with how
to tell a story through dance.

541
00:20:50,684 --> 00:20:53,420
- * La, la, la, la *

542
00:20:53,453 --> 00:20:54,888
- So you've got
these two women

543
00:20:54,921 --> 00:20:58,658
and then all these
contraptions that open up.

544
00:20:58,692 --> 00:21:00,493
We did, a couple of times,
remove things,

545
00:21:00,527 --> 00:21:03,329
like the roof of the set,
so we could do bed shots,

546
00:21:03,363 --> 00:21:05,365
and we poked our crane through
a couple of times

547
00:21:05,398 --> 00:21:07,867
through the front door
and the balcony door.

548
00:21:07,901 --> 00:21:12,072
- You know, telling this story
through a beautiful shot

549
00:21:12,105 --> 00:21:13,940
that takes you
from here to there,

550
00:21:13,973 --> 00:21:16,609
the nuances of
the actors' performances,

551
00:21:16,643 --> 00:21:19,679
I've seen that grow so much.

552
00:21:19,713 --> 00:21:21,348
- The camerawork,
the lighting,

553
00:21:21,381 --> 00:21:24,784
and the choreography,
it's unlimited creativity

554
00:21:24,818 --> 00:21:27,921
as long
as it serves the story.

555
00:21:27,954 --> 00:21:29,689
- Why not make it that
when you're making

556
00:21:29,723 --> 00:21:31,491
the movie version of "Wicked"?

557
00:21:31,524 --> 00:21:34,027
Paint with all the colors
of the rainbow.

558
00:21:34,060 --> 00:21:35,362
- [screams]

559
00:21:35,395 --> 00:21:36,730
- We got that.
That was great.

560
00:21:36,763 --> 00:21:38,531
- This is kind of
an action movie.

561
00:21:38,565 --> 00:21:39,833
There's, like, a lot of action.
- Totally.

562
00:21:39,866 --> 00:21:41,067
So there's, like,
stunt work happening.

563
00:21:41,101 --> 00:21:42,669
- Yeah.

564
00:21:42,702 --> 00:21:44,471
- And Marissa did more stunts
than either of us.

565
00:21:44,504 --> 00:21:45,972
- Ooh, yeah.
- I did do a lot of stunts.

566
00:21:46,006 --> 00:21:48,808
Very fun for me, to be honest.
- It was sick.

567
00:21:48,842 --> 00:21:51,411
- Like, they were scared that I
would be scared on the wires.

568
00:21:51,444 --> 00:21:53,546
They started off very slow.

569
00:21:53,580 --> 00:21:54,914
I'm like, "Yes,
pick up the speed please."

570
00:21:54,948 --> 00:21:56,449
- Right.
- "This is so fun."

571
00:21:56,483 --> 00:21:57,917
- Lock me in, let's go.
- Yes.

572
00:21:57,951 --> 00:22:00,787
And by the end of it,
I was zooming through the air.

573
00:22:00,820 --> 00:22:02,956
- Action!
- [screams]

574
00:22:02,989 --> 00:22:05,692
- I'm glad they didn't have
a stunt double for me, like,

575
00:22:05,725 --> 00:22:07,160
or, like, had someone else
do the stunts

576
00:22:07,193 --> 00:22:08,695
because I was like,
"No, I want to."

577
00:22:08,728 --> 00:22:10,096
- I'm doing them.
- Yeah.

578
00:22:10,130 --> 00:22:12,132
- Ugh.

579
00:22:12,165 --> 00:22:13,833
- Oh!
[laughs]

580
00:22:13,867 --> 00:22:14,968
Oh!

581
00:22:15,001 --> 00:22:16,536
[dramatic music]

582
00:22:16,569 --> 00:22:18,471
- The preparation for this
was so much fun.

583
00:22:18,505 --> 00:22:20,907
Cynthia and I would do
stunt training,

584
00:22:20,940 --> 00:22:23,743
different kinds of training
because this film,

585
00:22:23,777 --> 00:22:25,412
it gets physical.

586
00:22:25,445 --> 00:22:27,180
- Three, two, one, action.

587
00:22:27,213 --> 00:22:30,083
- The action
that we design is--

588
00:22:30,116 --> 00:22:33,920
you know, it primarily
has to be emotionally based.

589
00:22:33,953 --> 00:22:36,690
Is it aggressive
or is it vulnerable?

590
00:22:36,723 --> 00:22:40,093
You know, we have to do all of
that within our body language.

591
00:22:40,126 --> 00:22:41,928
There are times
when we have to do,

592
00:22:41,961 --> 00:22:44,531
working with the dancers
and the parkour people

593
00:22:44,564 --> 00:22:46,566
and the stunt people,
seeing what they could

594
00:22:46,599 --> 00:22:48,935
physically do
and making it exciting.

595
00:22:48,968 --> 00:22:51,237
Some of the guys are going
from one ladder to the next,

596
00:22:51,271 --> 00:22:53,740
you know, the wheels doing,
like, a revolution

597
00:22:53,773 --> 00:22:56,910
and changing your weight
and making it look effortless.

598
00:22:56,943 --> 00:23:01,681
Coming up with the most
creative fight sequences

599
00:23:01,715 --> 00:23:03,450
that we could,
like with the guards

600
00:23:03,483 --> 00:23:04,851
after the girls in the attic

601
00:23:04,884 --> 00:23:06,820
on their way up
to the balloon.

602
00:23:06,853 --> 00:23:08,621
- They're in it, and so
the soldiers are climbing,

603
00:23:08,655 --> 00:23:11,091
and they're throwing sandbags
at them to try to get them out,

604
00:23:11,124 --> 00:23:13,927
and eventually,
it burns to the ground.

605
00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:14,994
[basket thuds]

606
00:23:15,028 --> 00:23:17,864
And, of course,
"Defying Gravity."

607
00:23:17,897 --> 00:23:19,099
- Heave!

608
00:23:19,132 --> 00:23:21,901
- I knew
when I was going into this

609
00:23:21,935 --> 00:23:23,536
that stunts would be needed,

610
00:23:23,570 --> 00:23:25,939
and I knew that I wanted
to do my own stunts.

611
00:23:25,972 --> 00:23:28,141
* *

612
00:23:28,174 --> 00:23:30,477
- And that takes balls.
- Thank you.

613
00:23:30,510 --> 00:23:31,811
- It takes balls.
- [chuckles]

614
00:23:31,845 --> 00:23:33,880
- Thanks, Mama Jo.
- Honestly, well done.

615
00:23:33,913 --> 00:23:35,582
- Thank you.

616
00:23:35,615 --> 00:23:39,019
We had a moment where
I had to fly around on wires,

617
00:23:39,052 --> 00:23:41,287
and I could hear
this little girl,

618
00:23:41,321 --> 00:23:42,822
and she's stood by the monitor,

619
00:23:42,856 --> 00:23:44,057
go...
[gasps]

620
00:23:44,090 --> 00:23:45,125
"Whoa!"

621
00:23:45,158 --> 00:23:48,228
* *

622
00:23:48,261 --> 00:23:52,499
It's one of the moments
that made me understand

623
00:23:52,532 --> 00:23:54,200
why I do this.

624
00:23:54,234 --> 00:23:57,671
* *

625
00:23:57,704 --> 00:23:59,272
- Some of my other
favorite stunt memories

626
00:23:59,305 --> 00:24:01,841
were the moments that were
in-between the stunts.

627
00:24:01,875 --> 00:24:04,010
- This one
jumping off the side.

628
00:24:04,044 --> 00:24:06,079
- No, I had to be in
a harness one time,

629
00:24:06,112 --> 00:24:08,181
and not to fly, just so that I
didn't fall off the banister,

630
00:24:08,214 --> 00:24:10,884
but I didn't come close
to falling off the banister.

631
00:24:10,917 --> 00:24:12,585
Only when we were not filming--

632
00:24:12,619 --> 00:24:13,987
- Did she jump
off the side of it.

633
00:24:14,020 --> 00:24:15,021
- By accident.

634
00:24:15,055 --> 00:24:16,823
- Oh!

635
00:24:16,856 --> 00:24:19,192
- Oh, no.
I might have.

636
00:24:19,225 --> 00:24:20,694
Sorry.
I'm sorry.

637
00:24:20,727 --> 00:24:22,295
- All right, folks.
OK, folks.

638
00:24:22,328 --> 00:24:25,965
- Everyone gets so nervous.
Oh, God, I'm so sorry.

639
00:24:25,999 --> 00:24:27,701
So we would go home
and text each other

640
00:24:27,734 --> 00:24:29,969
and be like, "Do you also
have four missing nails..."

641
00:24:30,003 --> 00:24:31,705
- [laughs]
- "And bruises?"

642
00:24:31,738 --> 00:24:32,939
- We have pictures of just,
like, broken nails...

643
00:24:32,972 --> 00:24:34,240
- What are these bruises from?

644
00:24:34,274 --> 00:24:36,776
- And half-painted hands
and bruises.

645
00:24:36,810 --> 00:24:38,845
- Not again!
Not again!

646
00:24:38,878 --> 00:24:40,947
But I miss it.
- We love it though.

647
00:24:40,980 --> 00:24:43,783
- Coming up,
the man, the legend,

648
00:24:43,817 --> 00:24:47,554
the wizard himself has just
landed in Emerald City.

649
00:24:47,587 --> 00:24:49,589
- Nice to see you.
Nice to see you.

650
00:24:49,622 --> 00:24:52,792
- Brace yourself for the quite
impossible to describe,

651
00:24:52,826 --> 00:24:55,662
Jeff Goldblum, next.

652
00:25:01,368 --> 00:25:01,835
.

653
00:25:01,868 --> 00:25:02,435
[soaring orchestral music]

654
00:25:05,138 --> 00:25:07,340
[together]
* We're just two friends *

655
00:25:07,374 --> 00:25:09,743
- * Two good friends *

656
00:25:09,776 --> 00:25:13,113
- * Two best friends *

657
00:25:13,146 --> 00:25:15,215
[together]
* Sharing one wonderful *

658
00:25:15,248 --> 00:25:18,118
- * One short *

659
00:25:18,151 --> 00:25:20,286
[together]
The wizard will see you now.

660
00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:23,623
[together]
* Day *

661
00:25:23,656 --> 00:25:24,958
- And look at this.

662
00:25:24,991 --> 00:25:26,960
It is our wonderful
Wizard of Oz.

663
00:25:26,993 --> 00:25:29,362
- Jeff Goldblum.
- Yes.

664
00:25:29,396 --> 00:25:30,964
Hello.
- Hello to you.

665
00:25:30,997 --> 00:25:32,766
- Oh! Thank you.
- And hello to you.

666
00:25:32,799 --> 00:25:33,800
- Oop!
- Oh.

667
00:25:33,833 --> 00:25:35,902
Butterfingers, butterfingers.

668
00:25:35,935 --> 00:25:37,270
- Thank you, Wizard.

669
00:25:37,303 --> 00:25:39,039
- Thank you very much
for our gifts, there.

670
00:25:39,072 --> 00:25:40,974
- We love you so much.
- We love you.

671
00:25:41,007 --> 00:25:43,977
[enchanting music]

672
00:25:44,010 --> 00:25:45,712
- You want to see
something amazing?

673
00:25:45,745 --> 00:25:47,180
- Yeah.

674
00:25:47,213 --> 00:25:50,884
- This is all about our
wonderful Wizard of Oz.

675
00:25:50,917 --> 00:25:53,019
Do you know how he got here?

676
00:25:53,053 --> 00:25:55,321
From the sky, in a balloon.

677
00:25:55,355 --> 00:25:57,090
[dramatic music]

678
00:25:57,123 --> 00:26:01,961
Then he built
a city made of emeralds.

679
00:26:01,995 --> 00:26:04,431
You want to know a secret?

680
00:26:04,464 --> 00:26:07,067
[whispers]
If you get to meet him...

681
00:26:07,100 --> 00:26:09,736
[fireworks whistling
and booming]

682
00:26:09,769 --> 00:26:12,272
He grants your heart's desire.

683
00:26:12,305 --> 00:26:14,674
- I am Oz.

684
00:26:14,708 --> 00:26:18,011
[machinery whirs]

685
00:26:18,044 --> 00:26:23,683
Uh, sorry about all that.
I didn't mean to startle you.

686
00:26:23,717 --> 00:26:25,051
[tender music]

687
00:26:25,085 --> 00:26:27,053
- I'm a sucker
for a lot of stories,

688
00:26:27,087 --> 00:26:28,655
including "Wizard of Oz."

689
00:26:28,688 --> 00:26:31,925
It never failed
to enchant me and grip me.

690
00:26:31,958 --> 00:26:33,893
- It's Jeff Goldblum.

691
00:26:33,927 --> 00:26:36,062
- I love this man.
Do you know that?

692
00:26:36,096 --> 00:26:37,931
- Yesterday, I did a scene
with the both of them,

693
00:26:37,964 --> 00:26:40,033
plus Michelle Yeoh.

694
00:26:40,066 --> 00:26:42,369
If I died right after
that day's work,

695
00:26:42,402 --> 00:26:43,903
I'd be happy.

696
00:26:43,937 --> 00:26:46,906
* *

697
00:26:46,940 --> 00:26:49,876
- We are so happy.

698
00:26:49,909 --> 00:26:53,947
- You know, when I first
went to the theater,

699
00:26:53,980 --> 00:26:56,383
it was a new show
20 years ago on Broadway.

700
00:26:56,416 --> 00:26:57,851
I was in New York.

701
00:26:57,884 --> 00:27:01,755
And that music,
by the end of the show,

702
00:27:01,788 --> 00:27:05,025
suffice it to say,
I was in an emotional

703
00:27:05,058 --> 00:27:08,228
emergency-room condition.
- Absolutely.

704
00:27:08,261 --> 00:27:11,831
- I was kind of wailing,
trying not to wail with people

705
00:27:11,865 --> 00:27:13,833
leaving the theater around me.
- Absolutely.

706
00:27:13,867 --> 00:27:15,335
- Boo.

707
00:27:15,368 --> 00:27:16,903
And I think I wailed out,

708
00:27:16,936 --> 00:27:20,240
"I didn't know they were
going to be best friends!"

709
00:27:20,273 --> 00:27:23,410
Well, cut to, 20 years later,
this version.

710
00:27:23,443 --> 00:27:25,412
Those of you out there who,
in a few days,

711
00:27:25,445 --> 00:27:28,848
may see this,
and enjoy it in a big way.

712
00:27:28,882 --> 00:27:31,818
- I knew you'd understand.

713
00:27:31,851 --> 00:27:34,087
That makes me--
that makes me so happy.

714
00:27:34,120 --> 00:27:36,956
- Well, that's what
I love best,

715
00:27:36,990 --> 00:27:40,026
making people happy.

716
00:27:40,060 --> 00:27:42,996
- Hey, can I mention,
the whole production design

717
00:27:43,029 --> 00:27:44,364
of this movie...
- Yes.

718
00:27:44,397 --> 00:27:46,032
- Mm-hmm.
- It's unusual, isn't it?

719
00:27:46,066 --> 00:27:48,868
It's a so-called
practical set.

720
00:27:48,902 --> 00:27:50,270
And I've been here and there,

721
00:27:50,303 --> 00:27:53,840
and I've done these
green-screen movies.

722
00:27:53,873 --> 00:27:56,042
Nothing like this.
This is unusual.

723
00:27:56,076 --> 00:27:57,944
Nothing like it,
and I think, on film,

724
00:27:57,977 --> 00:27:59,446
one will feel it.

725
00:27:59,479 --> 00:28:01,514
And certainly doing it,
it supports

726
00:28:01,548 --> 00:28:03,950
and helps the actor.

727
00:28:03,983 --> 00:28:08,355
- Guards.
Bring her to me.

728
00:28:08,388 --> 00:28:10,323
- The things that were
made for this film,

729
00:28:10,357 --> 00:28:14,260
you can't even fathom how much
work and how much detail.

730
00:28:14,294 --> 00:28:16,863
- Like the costumes.
It's just so brilliant.

731
00:28:16,896 --> 00:28:19,799
[enchanting music]

732
00:28:19,833 --> 00:28:21,468
* *

733
00:28:21,501 --> 00:28:26,973
- I was always reacting to
what Nathan was coming up with

734
00:28:27,007 --> 00:28:30,010
as far as the architecture
in the spaces.

735
00:28:30,043 --> 00:28:33,780
I was reflecting that in
the silhouettes of the people

736
00:28:33,813 --> 00:28:35,448
and the textures
of their clothing,

737
00:28:35,482 --> 00:28:38,184
in jewelry, on buttons.

738
00:28:38,218 --> 00:28:40,353
All of that was
very specifically

739
00:28:40,387 --> 00:28:42,789
designed for this world.

740
00:28:42,822 --> 00:28:47,027
So we're tapping into
all of these amazing,

741
00:28:47,060 --> 00:28:51,031
very talented artisans
in creating this film

742
00:28:51,064 --> 00:28:54,501
so that we can get
the most original look

743
00:28:54,534 --> 00:28:55,935
that we possibly can.

744
00:28:55,969 --> 00:29:00,974
Just a little more roll
or something.

745
00:29:01,007 --> 00:29:03,543
It is a world of contrasts.

746
00:29:03,576 --> 00:29:07,514
With Elphaba, I used a lot
of pleating and felting.

747
00:29:07,547 --> 00:29:12,419
I wanted to align her
with the animal world.

748
00:29:12,452 --> 00:29:15,188
With Glinda,
a world without worry.

749
00:29:15,221 --> 00:29:17,924
It was important
for me to render her

750
00:29:17,957 --> 00:29:20,894
in that kind of quality
as she aligns

751
00:29:20,927 --> 00:29:22,962
with this sensibility of good.

752
00:29:22,996 --> 00:29:25,031
- You're beautiful.

753
00:29:25,065 --> 00:29:27,467
- The costume goes from
being an idea,

754
00:29:27,500 --> 00:29:30,270
which is the potential
essence of a character,

755
00:29:30,303 --> 00:29:33,273
to being a realized garment.

756
00:29:33,306 --> 00:29:36,976
Once you have an actor
in the costume,

757
00:29:37,010 --> 00:29:38,878
it attains a soul.

758
00:29:38,912 --> 00:29:40,480
[heels click]

759
00:29:40,513 --> 00:29:43,483
- [vocalizing]

760
00:29:43,516 --> 00:29:46,519
* *

761
00:29:46,553 --> 00:29:48,221
- Hey, I've taken out
my device...

762
00:29:48,254 --> 00:29:49,522
- Yes.

763
00:29:49,556 --> 00:29:52,158
- Not just because
I'm a nincompoop and addicted,

764
00:29:52,192 --> 00:29:54,327
which I am a little bit,
but because I wanted

765
00:29:54,361 --> 00:29:55,895
to show you something.
Look at this.

766
00:29:55,929 --> 00:29:57,364
Look at this again.
- Oh!

767
00:29:57,397 --> 00:29:59,065
- Look at the young...
- That is crazy.

768
00:29:59,099 --> 00:30:00,567
- Ariana Grande.

769
00:30:00,600 --> 00:30:02,869
- Why do we both kind of look
exactly the same still?

770
00:30:02,902 --> 00:30:04,270
- Well...
- Just as excited.

771
00:30:04,304 --> 00:30:05,438
- I don't know how much
the same I look.

772
00:30:05,472 --> 00:30:06,539
You look, you know--

773
00:30:06,573 --> 00:30:08,208
- So happy.
- Just as excited to be--

774
00:30:08,241 --> 00:30:12,012
- That's me, myself and I
after I've come off stage

775
00:30:12,045 --> 00:30:14,614
in Shubert Alley,
famous Shubert Alley...

776
00:30:14,647 --> 00:30:16,649
- In "The Pillowman."
- After doing "The Pillowman."

777
00:30:16,683 --> 00:30:18,051
- I saw you twice in that.

778
00:30:18,084 --> 00:30:19,352
I stopped at
the stage door twice.

779
00:30:19,386 --> 00:30:20,587
And you stopped at
the stage door twice.

780
00:30:20,620 --> 00:30:22,088
You always took time.
It was--

781
00:30:22,122 --> 00:30:23,623
Ugh, please look at
how excited I am.

782
00:30:23,656 --> 00:30:25,158
I'm so sorry.

783
00:30:25,191 --> 00:30:26,593
- Well, anyway, I love
this picture so much.

784
00:30:26,626 --> 00:30:28,661
- We love you.
- You made our time so special.

785
00:30:28,695 --> 00:30:30,096
- You did.

786
00:30:30,130 --> 00:30:31,197
- And I don't think
you understand

787
00:30:31,231 --> 00:30:33,433
what you did to our hearts.

788
00:30:33,466 --> 00:30:35,468
Thank you for being
the best wizard.

789
00:30:35,502 --> 00:30:40,173
- Coming up, reimagining
"Wicked's" iconic score

790
00:30:40,206 --> 00:30:41,708
for the big screen.

791
00:30:41,741 --> 00:30:46,012
And Jonathan has a surprise
for Cynthia and Ariana,

792
00:30:46,046 --> 00:30:48,281
defying expectations
with something

793
00:30:48,314 --> 00:30:50,450
they've never seen before.

794
00:30:50,483 --> 00:30:51,718
- What the heck?

795
00:30:58,124 --> 00:30:58,291
.

796
00:30:58,324 --> 00:30:58,892
[soaring orchestral music]

797
00:31:01,161 --> 00:31:03,396
- Welcome back to
our world of "Wicked."

798
00:31:03,430 --> 00:31:05,331
We are just
casually discussing

799
00:31:05,365 --> 00:31:08,201
how much we love
the music in this movie

800
00:31:08,234 --> 00:31:12,172
and what an honor it's been
to sing these songs

801
00:31:12,205 --> 00:31:13,673
and sing with each other.
- Yes, very much.

802
00:31:13,707 --> 00:31:15,175
- I am--

803
00:31:15,208 --> 00:31:16,509
- Never singing
with anyone else again.

804
00:31:16,543 --> 00:31:19,212
- I have been so spoiled
by the experience

805
00:31:19,245 --> 00:31:22,015
of hearing
Cynthia Erivo sing...

806
00:31:22,048 --> 00:31:23,416
- Talk about yourself.
- Every day.

807
00:31:23,450 --> 00:31:24,751
- What? Are you joking?
- No, I'm sorry.

808
00:31:24,784 --> 00:31:25,752
I just have to say.

809
00:31:25,785 --> 00:31:27,354
[vocalizing together]

810
00:31:27,387 --> 00:31:33,593
[together]
* My whole life long *

811
00:31:33,626 --> 00:31:36,129
- I have loved singing
with you

812
00:31:36,162 --> 00:31:37,697
- [screams]

813
00:31:37,731 --> 00:31:39,766
- So it's probably one of the
greatest pleasures of my life,

814
00:31:39,799 --> 00:31:43,169
to be able to sing with someone
who, like, understands music

815
00:31:43,203 --> 00:31:45,071
so implicitly the way you do.
- I love you.

816
00:31:45,105 --> 00:31:46,206
- You really--
- That's so kind.

817
00:31:46,239 --> 00:31:47,707
- Yeah, this one, in "Popular,"

818
00:31:47,741 --> 00:31:51,444
is running around the room,
honestly at break speed.

819
00:31:51,478 --> 00:31:55,482
- * La, la, la, la *

820
00:31:55,515 --> 00:31:58,518
- Jumping up on things,
hanging off a chandelier

821
00:31:58,551 --> 00:31:59,753
at one point.

822
00:31:59,786 --> 00:32:02,589
- You in "Defying Gravity,"
you're upside-down

823
00:32:02,622 --> 00:32:05,358
and in the air and harnessed
and belting like it's nothing,

824
00:32:05,392 --> 00:32:07,794
like it's absolutely nothing.
I was standing there.

825
00:32:07,827 --> 00:32:09,295
I can tell you.

826
00:32:09,329 --> 00:32:14,067
She's swooping--
flying in, landing perfectly.

827
00:32:14,100 --> 00:32:16,436
Perfect pitch every single--
like, the most insane thing

828
00:32:16,469 --> 00:32:18,071
I've ever seen in my life.

829
00:32:18,104 --> 00:32:20,240
- I think that both of us
were doing ridiculous things

830
00:32:20,273 --> 00:32:23,243
in order to tell these stories
through song.

831
00:32:23,276 --> 00:32:24,678
- We do speak
the same language though.

832
00:32:24,711 --> 00:32:26,579
- Yes, yes.
- That's been fun too.

833
00:32:26,613 --> 00:32:30,250
We recorded rehearsal tracks,
but then also sang live on set,

834
00:32:30,283 --> 00:32:31,484
which is something--
we both were like,

835
00:32:31,518 --> 00:32:32,686
"We're singing."
- We're singing live.

836
00:32:32,719 --> 00:32:34,521
- We are singing.
- That's it, yeah.

837
00:32:34,554 --> 00:32:36,389
- But when we were recording
the rehearsal tracks

838
00:32:36,423 --> 00:32:39,726
and the demos, I, like,
took a stab at vocal producing.

839
00:32:39,759 --> 00:32:41,761
And I was like,
"I think she's going to like

840
00:32:41,795 --> 00:32:44,531
this choice, this choice,
this choice."

841
00:32:44,564 --> 00:32:46,166
And I called you
and invited you over,

842
00:32:46,199 --> 00:32:47,500
and you were like, "Great."
- Yes, thank you.

843
00:32:47,534 --> 00:32:49,669
- Yep, there we go.
[squeals]

844
00:32:49,703 --> 00:32:52,172
- I hope you enjoy the work
that we put into it.

845
00:32:52,205 --> 00:32:53,406
- We sang everything.

846
00:32:53,440 --> 00:32:55,442
- [laughs]
Absolutely everything.

847
00:32:55,475 --> 00:32:57,243
- Take a look.
- Yes.

848
00:32:57,277 --> 00:33:02,148
* Everyone deserves
a chance to fly *

849
00:33:02,182 --> 00:33:03,616
I can do it.
It's good.

850
00:33:03,650 --> 00:33:05,685
- Well, I think there are
a couple of things

851
00:33:05,719 --> 00:33:09,389
that make "Wicked"
an ideal subject

852
00:33:09,422 --> 00:33:10,790
for musicalization.

853
00:33:10,824 --> 00:33:14,194
- * I hope you're happy,
I hope you're happy now *

854
00:33:14,227 --> 00:33:17,230
* I hope you're happy how
you hurt your cause forever *

855
00:33:17,263 --> 00:33:19,232
* I hope you think
you're clever *

856
00:33:19,265 --> 00:33:20,567
- * I hope you're happy *

857
00:33:20,600 --> 00:33:22,268
* I hope you're happy too *

858
00:33:22,302 --> 00:33:24,637
- The characters have
these inner thoughts

859
00:33:24,671 --> 00:33:27,140
that it's very difficult
to dramatize

860
00:33:27,173 --> 00:33:28,775
if they're not singing them

861
00:33:28,808 --> 00:33:32,345
[together]
* I can't imagine how *

862
00:33:32,379 --> 00:33:35,281
* I hope you're happy *

863
00:33:35,315 --> 00:33:39,085
* Right now *

864
00:33:39,119 --> 00:33:42,622
- One of the reasons why it was
so important to do this live

865
00:33:42,655 --> 00:33:44,657
was not only because
we're all theater people

866
00:33:44,691 --> 00:33:47,560
who wanted to so badly,
but also because

867
00:33:47,594 --> 00:33:50,263
of the emotional element.

868
00:33:50,296 --> 00:33:54,334
- We would be further connected
to the words we were saying,

869
00:33:54,367 --> 00:33:57,370
the music we were hearing,
the story we were telling,

870
00:33:57,404 --> 00:33:58,772
and to each other.

871
00:33:58,805 --> 00:33:59,906
[together]
* There's no fight *

872
00:33:59,939 --> 00:34:03,176
* We cannot win *

873
00:34:03,209 --> 00:34:06,446
* Just you and I *

874
00:34:06,479 --> 00:34:09,482
* Defying gravity *

875
00:34:09,516 --> 00:34:11,885
* With you and I *

876
00:34:11,918 --> 00:34:14,354
- The people
who created the show,

877
00:34:14,387 --> 00:34:16,156
they're excited
about the music

878
00:34:16,189 --> 00:34:17,724
that we're bringing back,

879
00:34:17,757 --> 00:34:21,161
and it means so much
to be able

880
00:34:21,194 --> 00:34:24,698
to experience that with them.

881
00:34:24,731 --> 00:34:27,567
- "Wicked" was the first show
I conducted on Broadway.

882
00:34:27,600 --> 00:34:29,436
And it's a 23-piece orchestra,

883
00:34:29,469 --> 00:34:32,439
and now this will be close
to a hundred people

884
00:34:32,472 --> 00:34:33,707
playing together.

885
00:34:33,740 --> 00:34:35,742
[bright orchestral music]

886
00:34:35,775 --> 00:34:38,812
It's about
scaling up everything

887
00:34:38,845 --> 00:34:41,915
and making all of
the musical moments

888
00:34:41,948 --> 00:34:43,883
really inhabit the world.

889
00:34:43,917 --> 00:34:48,321
This vision is going to be
extraordinary on a big screen.

890
00:34:48,355 --> 00:34:49,522

891
00:34:49,556 --> 00:34:52,359

894
00:34:57,931 --> 00:35:02,669
* And soon I'll match them
in renown *

895

* *

896
00:35:04,404 --> 00:35:06,573
- Fantastic, fantastic.
- Incredible.

897
00:35:06,606 --> 00:35:09,943
- Wow, that was really good.
- Very cool.

898
00:35:09,976 --> 00:35:12,212
- I'm really excited
for everyone to see

899
00:35:12,245 --> 00:35:14,714
how all of these iconic things
have been reimagined.

900
00:35:14,748 --> 00:35:15,982
And I think one of the things

901
00:35:16,016 --> 00:35:17,517
that has been reimagined
so well

902
00:35:17,550 --> 00:35:20,186
is in the casting choices,
honestly.

903
00:35:20,220 --> 00:35:21,955
Michelle Yeoh as Morrible
is, like,

904
00:35:21,988 --> 00:35:23,790
such an inspired choice to me.

905
00:35:23,823 --> 00:35:26,192
- Unreal, and, like, won the
Oscar while we were filming.

906
00:35:26,226 --> 00:35:27,494
- Yeah.

907
00:35:27,527 --> 00:35:28,695
- Do you remember, like,
she entered the space...

908
00:35:28,728 --> 00:35:30,263
- Yes, wait,
I have video of it.

909
00:35:30,296 --> 00:35:31,398
- Yeah.
- Do you really?

910
00:35:31,431 --> 00:35:32,399
- I do, I do.
Here, here.

911
00:35:32,432 --> 00:35:34,334
Like, this is, like, Jon.

912
00:35:34,367 --> 00:35:37,337
There it is!
- That's a full-on Oscar.

913
00:35:37,370 --> 00:35:38,972
- That's a full Oscar.

914
00:35:39,005 --> 00:35:41,441
- Which was a really huge
celebratory moment

915
00:35:41,474 --> 00:35:43,576
for everyone.
- For everyone.

916
00:35:43,610 --> 00:35:45,612
And she made it that way
because she literally

917
00:35:45,645 --> 00:35:48,615
flew to set the next day...
- Whoo!

918
00:35:48,648 --> 00:35:49,983
It's got my name on it.

919
00:35:50,016 --> 00:35:51,518
- After winning her Oscar

920
00:35:51,551 --> 00:35:53,920
and then, like,
let everybody hold it,

921
00:35:53,953 --> 00:35:55,622
let everybody
take pictures with it.

922
00:35:55,655 --> 00:35:58,358
- I think it just shows
how special all of this

923
00:35:58,391 --> 00:36:00,627
is to Michelle, too, like,
going in the next day...

924
00:36:00,660 --> 00:36:02,362
- Yes.
- To be a part of this.

925
00:36:02,395 --> 00:36:04,964
Just so cool.

926
00:36:04,998 --> 00:36:07,300
- We're here today on the set,

927
00:36:07,334 --> 00:36:09,569
and it will be
the last time that we're

928
00:36:09,602 --> 00:36:12,405
all together at the end
of this massive journey.

929
00:36:12,439 --> 00:36:15,041
Do you remember, on day one,
Jon Chu asked

930
00:36:15,075 --> 00:36:17,477
you both to look into camera
and to give yourself

931
00:36:17,510 --> 00:36:18,912
a message to the future
version of yourself.

932
00:36:18,945 --> 00:36:20,547
- Oh, my.
- Yeah.

933
00:36:20,580 --> 00:36:21,881
- I don't remember what I said.
I remember it happening.

934
00:36:21,915 --> 00:36:23,483
- No, I can't remember
what I said either.

935
00:36:23,516 --> 00:36:24,918
- Should we have a little look?
- Oh, no.

936
00:36:24,951 --> 00:36:26,486
- Oh, dear.

937
00:36:26,519 --> 00:36:28,755
- Anything to say
to your future self?

938
00:36:28,788 --> 00:36:30,690
And you can say it to her
right there.

939
00:36:30,724 --> 00:36:33,259
- Oh, no, to my future self?

940
00:36:33,293 --> 00:36:37,397
[chuckles]
Oh, my gosh.

941
00:36:37,430 --> 00:36:39,799
I hope you're happy.
No.

942
00:36:39,833 --> 00:36:41,668
- What do you have to say
to your future self?

943
00:36:41,701 --> 00:36:43,536
Right there.
- All right.

944
00:36:43,570 --> 00:36:45,505
Hi, Cynthia.
[chuckles]

945
00:36:45,538 --> 00:36:50,910
Um, I'm not sure if you thought
you would be here at any point.

946
00:36:50,944 --> 00:36:54,381
This is a rare thing
to be able to be doing.

947
00:36:54,414 --> 00:36:57,017
- I've never felt
this way before,

948
00:36:57,050 --> 00:36:59,853
as excited
and positively nervous,

949
00:36:59,886 --> 00:37:04,657
in a good way,
as I do ready and sure.

950
00:37:04,691 --> 00:37:06,659
And that's something
I learned from Glinda.

951
00:37:06,693 --> 00:37:08,528
- I hope that you've come
to the end of this

952
00:37:08,561 --> 00:37:11,865
and you still feel
really grateful

953
00:37:11,898 --> 00:37:15,702
and cling on tight
to those around you

954
00:37:15,735 --> 00:37:18,505
who are in it with you still.

955
00:37:18,538 --> 00:37:21,541
And remember to keep them
in your lives.

956
00:37:21,574 --> 00:37:23,410
What the heck?
- We're stuck with you.

957
00:37:23,443 --> 00:37:25,011
Don't worry.
You've got us.

958
00:37:25,045 --> 00:37:27,347
- Thank you.
Oh, my.

959
00:37:27,380 --> 00:37:29,449
- Well...
- [laughs]

960
00:37:29,482 --> 00:37:33,853
- That was actually
really wonderful to see.

961
00:37:33,887 --> 00:37:36,756
Quite emotional for me
because I feel like

962
00:37:36,790 --> 00:37:39,693
I am really grateful, and
I got some new family members.

963
00:37:39,726 --> 00:37:41,127
- Me too.
- Yeah.

964
00:37:41,161 --> 00:37:42,829
- We will definitely
keep each other in our lives.

965
00:37:42,862 --> 00:37:44,431
We'll do a good job with that.
- You're stuck.

966
00:37:44,464 --> 00:37:45,865
- We've already done
such a good job with it.

967
00:37:45,899 --> 00:37:48,835
- Stuck with me.
- And we will continue to.

968
00:37:48,868 --> 00:37:51,905
- Next, the moment
we've all been waiting for,

969
00:37:51,938 --> 00:37:55,875
the curtain finally rises
on a world exclusive

970
00:37:55,909 --> 00:37:59,412
from our new movie, "Wicked."

971
00:37:59,446 --> 00:38:02,582
So wait just a clock tick.

972
00:38:02,615 --> 00:38:04,384
We'll be right back.

of this,

978

we told you that this is
a world of unexpected things.

Well, here is an unexpected
thing for you from us.
