Behind the scenes of ‘Wicked’: A look at how the film was made

By Gina Vivinetto

Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo are the first to say the amount of props they
took from the set of "Wicked" may have been "excessive."

Grande, who plays Glinda, and Erivo, who plays Elphaba in the Hollywood adaption
of the hit Broadway musical, opened up about all the loot they left set with
during an interview with co-stars Michelle Yeoh, Jeff Goldblum and Jonathan
Bailey that aired Nov. 18 on TODAY.




“It’s just a question of, 'What did we leave? What didn’t we take?'” Grande
joked.

"What didn't we take?" Ariana Grande said of the set treasures she and Cynthia
Erivo brought home with them.Giles Keyte / Universal Pictures

Grande and Erivo said they brought home pieces of costumes, props and other set
items that had special meaning for them.

The co-stars took turns listing the various items out.

“My broom,” Erivo said.

“My wand,” offered Grande.

“A couple cardigans,” continued Erivo.

"Books," added Grande as their co-stars laughed. "Several snow globes from the
Emerald City."

In fact, Grande said she has some snow globes to give Erivo "because I’d have,
like, seven," Grande said, "and that feels excessive."

"Christmas is coming," Bailey chimed in.

Surprisingly, it was Grande, not Erivo, who walked away with one piece of
Elphaba's costume.



"I have her ears," Grande shared.

"I had prosthetic ears," Erivo clarified with a laugh.

Grande said she also has "a piece of Johnny Bailey ... that he gave me." But she
wouldn't share further details as it's a "movie two spoiler." ("Wicked: Part 2"
is expected to premiere in November 2025, one year after "Wicked" comes out in
theaters Nov. 22.)

As for where those "Wicked" props are now? Grande and Erivo said their treasures
are just "out and about" at home.

"My broom is now a decoration," Erivo said, adding that the broom now hangs on a
wall.

"My books are in the bookshelf," Grande added.



During the interview with NBC's Jacob Soboroff, Grande and Erivo, who frequently
finished each other's sentences, also discussed the close friendship they formed
while shooting "Wicked."

"I think we made an agreement to take care of each other, to be there for one
another, to be honest with each other ...," Grande started.

"To actually build a relationship. But I think there is a little bit of, like,"
she added, before snapping her fingers, "magic in meet-cutes that happen.
They’re meant to happen."

Grande said the pair shared a "mutual love and respect."

"I’m in awe of her every single day that I get to watch her work," she said.

Meanwhile, Erivo called Grande a "a special human being," adding, "And if you’re
friends with a special human being, you make sure you take care of them."
