00:00Tell me about your first day on set of Wicked.

00:02My first day on set for Wicked was the most emotional day of my life.

00:08All I remember is holding hands with Cynthia and John and crying and him saying just welcome to Wicked.

00:15Why is the chemistry between you and Cynthia work so well?

00:19I think because she's really truly my sister.

00:24We really found in each other I think things we needed.

00:28And I can't wait for everyone to see it.

00:30And you sang, yes, and you performed.

00:34Serena, this is not going to be in the outfit.

00:39Now this is a ball gown.

00:41You're so sweet, I love you.

00:43How long did it take you to put together this amazing look?

00:45It took a minute. The full process was to pull on the pinks in the outfit.

00:50Can we talk about the nails?

00:52You love the nails.

00:53So this took about seven hours to do.

00:57Are you performing?

00:59That's a cheeky question.

01:00That's not a good idea.

01:01We might. Should we try?

01:03We should ask if we can.

01:05Let's ask.

01:06It's not too late to pull something together.

01:08What scene from Wicked are you most excited for people to see between the two of you?

01:11All of them.

01:12I mean, there's a lot and we've expanded a lot and grown in it.

01:16I love everything that we got to do together.

01:18When will you do Broadway together?

01:24I don't know.

01:25Soon, I hope.

01:26We have to figure it out.

01:27Someday.

01:28That would be fun.

01:29That could be cool. Like a little one-nighter.

01:31What was your favorite thing about Cyndi's performance in Wicked?

01:34Oh my God.

01:35Don't you dare cry.

01:36No, I won't.

01:38I mean, she just humanizes her in such an extraordinary way.

01:44Brings her to life.

01:46Oh my God, sorry. I got scared.

01:48In her own way. It's just so beautiful.

01:52You get to do so much more on film, I think.

01:54The stage version.

01:55So many brilliant women have played both of these roles.

01:58So it's such an exciting opportunity to be able to play with a camera

02:03and sort of see what you can find.

02:05And she just, your eyes, her eyes, her hands.

02:08She just, it's otherworldly.

02:11I'll never forget a minute of filming with her.

02:13What songs did you play?

02:15Heart is on her sleeve consistently.

02:17She's so open and generous with her performance.

02:21That it's so easy to be in a scene with her

02:23because you look at her eyes and you know she's telling the truth.

02:26So it's a wonderful thing to be able to look at your scene partner

02:29and do that.

02:30What songs did you sing together that weren't Wicked?

02:33Every song.

02:34Every song.

02:35Especially working with Jeff Goldblum.

02:36Yes.

02:37He will make you sing every song.

02:38He will make you sing everything.

02:40You did something, there was something.

02:41I Don't Know Why I Love You Like I Do.

02:43That's right.

02:44And what did you guys do?

02:46I think it was like,

02:47Make Me Love You.

02:48Yes, yes, yes.

02:50You make me love you.

02:51No, no, no.

02:52Maybe, maybe.

02:53Maybe.

02:54But you have to wait for it.
