‘Wicked: One Wonderful Night’: Behind-the-Scenes Moments You Missed
During the taping of Wicked: One Wonderful Night at the Dolby Theatre on September 24, fans witnessed more than just the onstage magic. While the broadcast featured highlights such as Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo’s duet of the Judy Garland and Barbra Streisand classic “Happy Days Are Here Again / Get Happy,” several behind-the-scenes moments were left out of the final airing.
Choreography Lessons for the Audience
Before filming began, the audience participated in a unique warm-up. Those in the orchestra section were handed artificial tulips and taught the flower choreography inspired by the film. They practiced tossing the tulips on cue, synchronized with Grande’s entrance as Glinda the Good.
Rehearsals and Filming Order
The group rehearsed together for several minutes, then dancers joined for a final run-through. The taping was done out of sequence and included complete musical numbers as well as transitions between scenes.
