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

* *

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

[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

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.

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.

- "Someone could
ever tell me ever."

Oh, my God, thank you so much!

I love her so much!

I'm going to take
such good care of her!

Thank you so much!

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.

My Miss Elphaba.

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

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.

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.

about "Wicked" too?

they talk amongst themselves

Like, we can talk about them

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

all the way through.

was with the music

- Yeah.

279

I actually saw the show.

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...

[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.

We didn't see you there.

You must have...
blended with the foliage.

you go through life,

just running amok and trampling
anyone in your path?

302
00:11:48.408 --> 00:11:49.376
- No.

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

[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

[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.

the man, the legend,

the wizard himself has just
landed in Emerald City.

Nice to see you.

impossible to describe,

It is our wonderful

- Yes.

Hello.

Do you know how he got here?

00:25:53.053 --> 00:25:55.321
From the sky, in a balloon.

It never failed
to enchant me and grip me.

- It's Jeff Goldblum.

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,

plus Michelle Yeoh.

- 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.

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

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.

- 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.

- Yes.

763

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.

- Look at the young...
- That is crazy.

- Ariana Grande.

- 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.

You look, you know--

- 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

- 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.

00:30:26.626 --> 00:30:28.661

you understand

787

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
- * Defying gravity *

892
00:34:52.392 --> 00:34:54.894
* I'm flying high *

893
00:34:54.928 --> 00:34:57.897
* Defying gravity *

894
00:34:57.931 --> 00:35:02.669
* And soon I'll match them
in renown *

895
00:35:02.702 --> 00:35:04.371
* *

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.

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.

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.

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

we've all been waiting for,

the curtain finally rises
on a world exclusive

So wait just a clock tick.

We'll be right back.
