Pro Shot: The Wicked team gets deep in this exclusive Q&A with Cynthia Erivo, Ariana Grande, Jon M Chu, Marc Platt, Pablo Helman & Andy Nelson.
Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo open up about the intense challenge of shooting two massive films at the same time, while director Jon M. Chu reveals the enormous pressure the cast faced stepping into Oz. Cynthia shares the emotional weight — and isolation — of filming her biggest Wicked: For Good scenes alone with heavy VFX, while Ariana pays heartfelt tribute to the creative team that carried her through both films.
Producer Marc Platt breaks down the bold decision to split Wicked into two movies, Pablo Helman reveals how the VFX team brought Jon’s vision to life, and Oscar-winning mixer Andy Nelson pulls back the curtain on the technical hurdles of recording live vocals on set. Together, the team reflects on the family they built, the messages they hope resonate with audiences, and what it means for the 25-year Wicked journey to finally reach its end.
