We have more Wicked set photos, and our first showing Cynthia Erivo all green-ifyed to portray Elphaba!
The photos, taken on Sunday (April 30) at Hankley Common (a nature preserve in England), show Cynthia, her stunt double, and other crew members filming a flying scene on the Yellow Brick Road.
Fans of the Wicked musical might notice a few key features of these pictures.
If you’ve seen Wicked on Broadway or in regional productions around the world, you’ll know that Elphaba is first introduced to her classic “Wicked Witch” hat by Glinda (played by Ariana Grande in the film) during the song “Dancing Through Life” in Act 1.
Elphaba doesn’t fly until her show-stopping number, “Defying Gravity,” which comes at the end of Act 1 in the musical. So it would appear, since Elphaba is flying and wearing her signature hat, that they’re filming a scene well into the second act of the musical!
And if you’re craving more Wicked news, you might wanna see who else auditioned for the role of Glinda in the Wicked movies!
