Let us rejoicify! The two-part Wicked movie has officially wrapped principal photography, and the cast and crew have taken to Instagram to commemorate their tenure in Oz. Ariana Grande, Cynthia Erivo, and Jonathan Bailey each posted shots teasing their characters (Glinda, Elphaba, and Fiyero, respectively) in shadowy silhouette, with director Jon M. Chu also sharing similar photos from the production.
Filming for both installments of the musical began in December 2022, but was put on pause during the the SAG-AFTRA strike with just a few days of shooting remaining. So you see, it couldn’t have been easy. Here are all of the cast and crew’s posts mourning the Wicked (movie being done filming).
Just as blurry as her “yes, and?†album art … incredible brand consistency. Grande also took to her Stories to share a message that read in part, “This was a wildly large production with so many brilliant human beings who worked so, so hard in every department. Every single person that worked on these films was not only the absolute best at what they do but made every single day for over a year feel so incredibly safe … kind and thoughtful and inspired every day as if it were always the first.†But will she give her roots a rest and go back to brunette? Only time will tell.
Why couldn’t she have stayed calm for once? Instead of flying [on] the handle!?
It’s giving Allison Williams in Peter Pan Live!
Two good friends. Two best friends.
Wicked also stars Michelle Yeoh, Jeff Goldblum, Marissa Bode, and Bowen Yang. The actor playing Dr. Dillamond has not yet posted on Instagram because their casting is still under wraps … or because goats cannot type. Wicked: Part One is set to hit theaters November 27, 2024.
