Wicked is one of the highly anticipated movies of the year. As the movie nears its release date, Bowen Yang revealed that all the cast members would come together and sing songs from the previous musicals in between takes.
In conversation with People Magazine, the actor, who will portray the role of Pfannee, revealed that when the director would say cut, the team would gather at one place and croon to the songs from movies like Rent and Next to Normal.
The upcoming fantasy film will also cast Ariana Grande and Cythia Erivo as the lead characters, while Michelle Yeoh, Jonathan Bailey, Ethan Slater, and Jeff Goldblum will play the supporting roles. Yeoh will play the character of Madame Morrible, the Bridgerton star will portray the role of Fiyero Tigelaar, Slate will play the character of Boq, and Goldblum will star as the Wizard.
Meanwhile, as the actor sat down for an interview with the media portal, Yang went on to continue, ‘Cynthia had to be incredibly aloof and reserved and in the demeanor of Elphaba. So it was refreshing to see her let loose in between takes.’
Goldblum, too, shared that when he shot with Grade, they too would croon to the lyrics of Dirty Rotten Scoundrels. The 72-year-old went on to reveal, ‘We sang it together, and then she did it again on my phone. Oh my God in heaven—it was music, music, music.’
