PRO SHOT: Cynthia Erivo, Ariana Grande, Jonathan Bailey, Jon M. Chu, Marc Platt, and Stephen Schwartz sit down for an in-depth conversation—teasing their first time singing together, the awkwardness and magic of the Ozdust Ballroom, surprise cameos, and how the team expanded the world of Oz for the screen.
From Cynthia creating her own Elphaba Ozdust choreography, to Ariana learning dance steps while filming, to Jonathan Bailey talking chemistry—this conversation pulls back the curtain on everything fans have been dying to know.
Marc Platt and Stephen Schwartz open the video with the incredible story of developing Wicked since the 1990s, while Jon M. Chu reveals the moment he knew Cynthia and Ariana were his Elphaba and Glinda… and the huge responsibility that came with leading such a beloved adaptation.
