Defy Gravity With These ‘Wicked’ Behind the Scenes Photos

The exciting second act of “Wicked” is out now … and we’ve put together behind-the-scenes pics from filming for you to scroll through all the movie magic before jumping back into Oz.

Filming kicked off back in late 2022 … and it made fast friends out of Cynthia Erivo, Ariana Grande, Ethan Slater, and the rest of the film’s cast as they shot both films at the same time — a massive undertaking led by director Jon M. Chu.

The cast couldn’t help but strike a few silly poses in between scenes … with Cynthia making a face we just can’t imagine the uptight Elphaba emulating.

Ariana looked every bit like Glinda from “The Wizard of Oz” in this shot … when she stood on the yellow brick road in full regalia — complete with a tall crown and matching scepter.

And two Elphabas are better than one … just look at this photo of Cynthia with Karis Musongole — the child actor who played a younger version of the main character.
