Cynthia Erivo, Ariana Grande and the "Wicked" cast share their journey to Oz and an exclusive scene.
Matt Roush says...
Maybe you’ve heard that a little (kidding) musical named Wicked is coming to the big screen, adapting the long-running hit Broadway show into a two-part cinema extravaganza directed by Jon M. Chu (In the Heights), with the second half arriving next fall. In advance of this weekend’s premiere, NBC (whose parent studio Universal is distributing the film) goes behind the scenes for a special featuring the movie’s stars, Cynthia Erivo (Elphaba) and Ariana Grande (Glinda), sharing their video diaries, with new footage and the world premiere of a scene from the film. This already feels like the most “Popular” kid on the block.
