00:22:39Loathing, I'm adulterated, loathing, for your face, your clothing, let's just sing, I love it all.
00:23:09Every little trick, however small, makes my very flesh begin to crawl, with simple utter loathing, there's a strange exhilaration, in such total detestation, it's so pure and so strong, though I do admit it came unless, still I do believe that it can, and I will be loathing, loathing.
00:23:39You're my whole life, lost you're going, but you are just too good, I can't understand it, I don't think I could, I don't think I could.
00:24:09These things are sent to triumphs.
00:24:27You're the wind, the force to resign, with someone so disgusting in life, we just want to tell you, we're all on your side.
00:24:40What is this feeling, so sudden and new, I felt the moment I laid out on you, my voice is retching, my head is relieved, oh what is this feeling, does it have made?
00:24:58Yes, I stand
00:25:06Oh what are the bumps and blinded bumps, the flown these sights there is, then bl niche and see my hair gaan, peace I feel big and give the bestands both in my fares and leoitions, far Videos and heroes
00:26:25Loathing for forever, loathing, truly, deeply loving you, my whole life long.
00:26:40Boom, boom, boom, to me, oh, hey.
00:26:44Boo!
00:26:45Right, I get it.
00:26:46Wicked One Wonderful Night is brought to you by Lexus.
00:27:16Wicked resonated with fans all around the world and invited them not only to watch but to engage with our world.
00:27:23In fact, a lot of moments from the movie took on a life of their own, whether it be Ariana's hair flip.
00:27:29Who does that?
00:27:30The defying gravity riff that so many have tried to recreate.
00:27:34Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah!
00:27:38Very nice
00:27:49Some of you even painted yourself green
00:27:54It won't wash off
00:27:57It's been a year
00:27:58Yeah, you've got to use a special soap for your face
00:28:02What about the rest of my body?
00:28:05Well, how much of your body have you covered in green?
00:28:08Everything
00:28:09Everything?
00:28:13Everything
00:28:14Oh dear
00:28:16Well, we'll just have to get you a doctor for that, okay?
00:28:20Meanwhile
00:28:21Let's take a look at just how much of an impact this film has had across the world
00:28:27Wicked!
00:28:30Dear Galinda, you are just too good
00:28:32I love Wicked!
00:28:33How do you say that I don't think I could
00:28:35We love Wicked so much
00:28:37We're Wicked!
00:28:38We're Wicked super fans
00:28:40I've been watching Wicked every day
00:28:44And I will be loathing for forever
00:28:47Loving Wicked isn't a hobby for me
00:28:49It is a lifestyle
00:28:50Loathing you
00:28:52I am just absolutely obsessed
00:28:54It is everything
00:28:55My whole life's home
00:28:57My favourite character is Elphaba
00:28:59Because she can fly just like me
00:29:02It is everything to lie
00:29:03It is everything to lie
00:29:04Now there is the answer
00:29:05If only because dust is what we come to
00:29:09Nothing matters
00:29:11But knowing nothing matters
00:29:13It is just life
00:29:15It is just life
00:29:16Come on, hop into the Wicked world
00:29:19It is just life
00:29:20It is just life
00:29:21You're great
00:29:22So if you're okay to find me
00:29:24So if you're okay to find me
00:29:26So if you're okay to find me
00:29:28Wicked has had a huge impact on my life
00:29:31And someone told me
00:29:34Everyone is sad
00:29:37And I just messed up
00:29:39Wicked has this timeless power
00:29:41It motivates me to keep fighting for my dreams
00:29:44I just feel like I can take on the road
00:29:46It was the best thing I've ever seen
00:29:48I sat there sobbing
00:29:49It became something that I could wrap myself up in
00:29:52To get through the rough times
00:29:54If Elphaba can do it with the whole world against her
00:29:57Then I can do it too
00:29:59Yeah, it makes me feel happy
00:30:01Happy, happy, happy
00:30:03Thank you for everything
00:30:04Mwah
00:30:11Now I am wearing a wicked too
00:30:14Now cut

00:30:35And so moving

00:31:24Yeah
00:31:27Thank you so much

00:31:41It's nice to meet you
00:31:42Come here
00:31:48Do you mind if I
00:31:51Do you want me to take this for you?
00:31:53It's not going anywhere
00:31:54Don't worry
00:31:55Now
00:31:56Can you get up here?
00:31:57Is that okay?
00:32:08Are you comfy there?
00:32:09Is that okay?
00:32:10You know this again
00:32:18Hi Remy
00:32:19Okay, is it okay if I call you Remy?
00:32:21Yeah
00:32:22Yeah
00:32:23Okay then
00:32:25I was going to call you that anyway
00:32:27Because Remy
00:32:29Now that we're friends
00:32:30Yeah
00:32:41Now that we're friends
00:32:43I've decided to make you my new project
00:32:47Yeah
00:32:48Yeah
00:32:51Yeah
00:32:52Yeah
00:32:53Yeah
00:32:55I know
00:32:57That's what makes me so nice
00:33:01Whenever I see someone
00:33:03Less fortunate than I
00:33:06That looks nice about it
00:33:07Who isn't?
00:33:08Less fortunate than I
00:33:11My tender heart tends to start to bleed
00:33:14And when someone needs a makeover
00:33:16I simply have to take over
00:33:18I know this
00:33:19I know
00:33:21Okay
00:33:22Exactly
00:33:24What they need
00:33:27And even in your case
00:33:29Though it's
00:33:42Toughest case
00:33:43I've yet to face
00:33:44Don't worry
00:33:46I'm determined
00:33:48To succeed
00:33:50Follow my lead
00:33:53If
00:33:54If
00:33:55If
00:33:56If
00:33:57If
00:33:58If
00:33:59If
00:34:00You
00:34:01You
00:34:02Will
00:34:03Be
00:34:05Popular
00:34:06You're gonna be popular
00:34:08I'll teach you the proper ploys
00:34:10When you talk to boys
00:34:12Little ways to flirt
00:34:13And flounce
00:34:14Woo!
00:34:15I'll show you what shoes to wear
00:34:16How to fix your hair
00:34:17Everything that really helps to be popular
00:34:22I'll help you be popular
00:34:24You'll hang with the right courts
00:34:26You'll be good at sports
00:34:28They're the slang you've got to know
00:34:30So let's start
00:34:31Cause you've got an awfully long way to go
00:34:35Come with me
00:34:36Come on
00:34:37Down center stage
00:34:39Don't be offended by my franken palaces
00:34:41Think of it as personality dialysis
00:34:44Now that I've chosen to become a power sister and advisor
00:34:48There's nobody wiser
00:34:50Not when it comes to popular
00:34:53I know we're popular
00:34:56And it's an assist for me
00:34:58To be who you'll be
00:34:59Instead of dreary who you were
00:35:01Well, are
00:35:02There's nothing that can stop you
00:35:03From becoming popular
00:35:06Lar
00:35:08Lar
00:35:10Lar
00:35:12We're done
00:35:14You
00:35:15Pop
00:35:16You
00:35:17Alert
00:35:18Woo!
00:35:19When I see depressing creatures
00:35:21With unprepossessing features
00:35:24I remind them on their own
00:35:26We have
00:35:27To
00:35:28Think
00:35:29Of
00:35:30Celebrated
00:35:31Heads of state
00:35:32Or especially great communicators
00:35:35Did they have brains or knowledge?
00:35:38Don't make me laugh
00:35:39They were
00:35:40Pop
00:35:42Exactly
00:35:43That's what I'm saying
00:35:44It's not about attitude
00:35:46It's the way you're feeling
00:35:48So it's very shrewd to be
00:35:50Very very poppy
00:35:52You look like me
00:35:54He
00:35:59Now Remy
00:36:00Would you mind coming with me?
00:36:02I'd like to teach you how to toss your hair
00:36:07Ready?
00:36:08Now this is a slightly different technique
00:36:10Because I have a ponytail today
00:36:12But I have to wind it up
00:36:14And then you
00:36:15Toss
00:36:16Toss
00:36:29No notes Rem
00:36:30It's been a pleasure
00:36:32I have one more thing before you go
00:36:34A parting gift
00:36:42This is my training wand
00:36:43I hope you enjoy it
00:36:44Thank you Remy
00:36:45Can I have a hug?
00:36:46Can I have a hug?
00:36:54You're amazing
00:36:55Thank you so much
00:36:56Everyone Remington
00:36:57What are you going to do?
00:36:58What are you doing?
00:36:59I love you
00:37:08And though you protest
00:37:09And though you protest, you're disinterested, I know, clandestinely, you're gonna grin and bearish
00:37:37Your newfound popularity
00:37:39Ah!
00:37:41La la la la
00:37:45La la la la
00:37:51La la la
00:37:53Ooh!
00:37:57You'll be popular
00:38:01Just not quite as popular as me
00:38:13Oh!
00:38:15Oh!
00:38:17Oh!
00:38:37Oh!
00:38:39After the break, a breathtaking performance from the Gershwin Theater
00:38:44when Ariana and Cynthia join Stephen Schwartz and two very special guests.
00:38:55Please welcome Ethan Slater and Bowen Yang.
00:39:09Hi, hello, you're gonna be okay, you got this.
00:39:15Please excuse our appearance, we were watching Ariana and Remy perform popular backstage
00:39:23and got a little overexcited during the hair toss.
00:39:27So to all the kids watching at home, remember to stretch before you toss.
00:39:34Now, back to what really matters.
00:39:38We go now to the iconic Gershwin Theater in New York City.
00:39:41The original home of the Broadway production Wicked.
00:39:44Accompanied by the incomparable Stephen Schwartz.
00:39:47With a special arrangement and performance just for tonight, this is For Good.
00:40:04Hey guys, we're at the Gershwin.
00:40:13You thought that would happen.
00:40:15You guys look beautiful.
00:40:17You should probably sing something.
00:40:18What do you think?
00:40:19I think it's a good idea.
00:40:20All right, let's do it.
00:40:21Why not?
00:40:22How about this?
00:40:23I've heard it said
00:40:39That people come into our lives for a reason
00:40:46Bringing something we must learn
00:40:50And we are led to those who help us most to grow
00:40:57If we let them
00:41:01And we help them in return
00:41:05Well, I don't know if I believe that's true
00:41:10But I know I'm who I am today
00:41:15Because I knew you
00:41:20Like a comet pulled from orbit
00:41:24As it passes the sun
00:41:27Like a stream that meets a boulder
00:41:30Halfway through the world
00:41:34Who can say if I've been changed for the better
00:41:41But because I knew you
00:41:48I have been changed for good
00:41:56It will all may be
00:42:03That we will never meet again
00:42:06In this lifetime
00:42:09So let me say before we part
00:42:13So much of me is made
00:42:16Of what I learned from you
00:42:19You'll be with me
00:42:23Like a handprint on my heart
00:42:27And now whatever way our stories end
00:42:32I know you have rewritten mine
00:42:36By being my friend
00:42:40Like a ship blown from its mooring
00:42:43By a wind off the sea
00:42:47Like a sea drop by a sky burn
00:42:50In a distant world
00:42:54Who can say if I've been changed for the better?
00:43:01Because I knew you
00:43:04Because I knew you
00:43:06Because I knew you
00:43:07I have been changed for good
00:43:12The years go by so fast
00:43:15The flames keep burning
00:43:17But we know someday
00:43:19It could be gone
00:43:22It's nice to know then
00:43:25As the torch gets past
00:43:29You will keep it blazing
00:43:31Brightly on
00:43:35Like a handprint on my heart
00:43:38Like a ship blown from its mooring
00:43:40By a wind off the sea
00:43:42Like a sea drop by a bird in the world
00:43:49Who can say if I've been changed for the better?
00:43:58I do believe I have been changed for the better
00:44:07And because I knew you
00:44:12Because I knew you
00:44:17Because I knew you
00:44:23I haven't changed for good
00:44:53There's such a capacity for the fans to love the films
00:44:58Alongside the musical
00:45:00Alongside the books
00:45:01Alongside the L. Frank Baum books
00:45:02Like it is more likely than not
00:45:04That fans are a little bit adversarial
00:45:07Towards the newer thing
00:45:08The newer installment
00:45:09The newer imagination of something
00:45:11I think the fact that none of us have really encountered
00:45:14Any sort of like
00:45:15I don't know
00:45:16Pushback is so meaningful
00:45:18We're very lucky to have been embraced by the fans
00:45:21The way we have
00:45:22Yes, very much so
00:45:23The Wicked fans are the most beautiful souls in the world
00:45:25Yeah
00:45:26And they're fiercely loving
00:45:27Oh my gosh
00:45:28They're so insanely loving
00:45:29It's so insane
00:45:30It's crazy
00:45:31I think it's the love and passion that you've poured into each character
00:45:35Has really allowed them and opened their hearts and minds to us
00:45:42We all love our characters
00:45:43I remember you defending the wizard to the end
00:45:46And you know
00:45:47I don't know if that's how you feel now that we're out of it
00:45:49But you have to like love
00:45:51Yeah
00:45:52You have to love your character
00:45:53And so I love Bach so much
00:45:54Yeah
00:45:55I take away a lot from you guys
00:45:57But what helps me is like
00:45:59When I look into your eyes
00:46:01And I see Alphaba
00:46:02And I see all the complexities there
00:46:05Then you find that exchange
00:46:07And I love when I look at you
00:46:08You're like fresh and naive
00:46:10And then John will come up to me and say
00:46:12Scare the hell out of Ariana
00:46:14And I'm like
00:46:15Are you sure?
00:46:16She says yes
00:46:17So I just turned and ran at her
00:46:20Literally like
00:46:22This poor
00:46:23Best moment of my life
00:46:24She's
00:46:26Dropped onto the couch
00:46:30Wave
00:46:34And shut your mouth
00:46:36My lens
00:46:37She was so scared
00:46:38My contact lens popped out
00:46:39My contact lens popped out
00:46:41My contact
00:46:43I'm sorry all my contact came out
00:46:49It was a really cherished moment
00:46:51I loved scaring you
00:46:52I save her every minute
00:46:54And now you
00:46:55Let's get to this half of the room
00:46:56Yes
00:46:57I want to hear about this
00:46:58Bowen
00:46:59Bowen
00:47:00The besties
00:47:01I've learned like
00:47:02The danger of cruelty from him
00:47:06These are two people who are like bullies
00:47:08And they execute and motivate other people to do bad things
00:47:13But I would apologize to Cynthia between takes and be like
00:47:15That felt awful
00:47:16Like being cruel to you
00:47:18So I think
00:47:19I don't know
00:47:20I think as you age
00:47:21You just soften a little bit in those ways hopefully
00:47:24And I feel like that is the thing that I've taken away from him
00:47:27We're so privileged to have been able to be there to witness each other's moments
00:47:32And see every single take of everything
00:47:34Because the movie is so beautiful and everyone is so brilliant in it
00:47:38But it was so special to be there and see everyone's process and every single ad-lib
00:47:43And every single choice that everyone made
00:47:45And it was just such a treat
00:47:47Well done everyone
00:47:48Yeah
00:47:51Please welcome Bowen Yang and Ariana Grande
00:47:57You know when you think about it
00:48:00Wicked is a film at its core about friendship
00:48:04I couldn't agree more
00:48:05Yes
00:48:06Friendship between two people who couldn't be more different from each other
00:48:09Yes
00:48:10A popular ambitious sorcery student with impeccable style
00:48:13And a love for all things pink
00:48:14And her best friend Fanny
00:48:20Oh
00:48:22What?
00:48:23No nothing I just thought you were
00:48:25I thought you were going to say
00:48:26You know Elphaba
00:48:28Elphaba?
00:48:30Really?
00:48:32Well yeah
00:48:34Oh
00:48:35Well
00:48:36That's like the core friendship of the whole movie
00:48:38I don't know
00:48:40I feel like
00:48:41Wicked is a story about a popular girl
00:48:43And an equally popular guy
00:48:45Who loves to follow her around
00:48:47Carry her books
00:48:48And occasionally makes catty little comments about their ugly classmates
00:48:50I really don't think that's what people are taking away from
00:48:53But
00:48:54Yeah
00:48:55No
00:48:56Art is subjective
00:48:58Yeah
00:48:59It is
00:49:00That's true
00:49:01I love you
00:49:02I love you
00:49:03So much
00:49:04So much
00:49:06In the meantime
00:49:07Performing I'm Not That Girl
00:49:09Please welcome
00:49:10The phenomenal
00:49:11The singular
00:49:12Cynthia Erivo
00:49:13Cynthia Erivo
00:49:14Fence touch
00:49:44Eyes meet
00:49:48Sudden silence
00:49:51Sudden heat
00:49:54Hearts lean
00:49:57In a giddy world
00:50:01He could be that boy
00:50:06But I'm not that girl
00:50:14Don't dream too far
00:50:21Don't lose sight of who you are
00:50:28Don't remember that rush of joy
00:50:35He could be that boy
00:50:41I'm not that girl
00:50:47Every so often we long to steal
00:50:52To the land of what might have been
00:50:57But that doesn't soften the ache we feel
00:51:03When reality sets back in
00:51:13Light smile
00:51:16Light the limb
00:51:19She who's winsome
00:51:22She wins in him
00:51:26Gold hair
00:51:28With a gentle curl
00:51:32That's the girl he chose
00:51:39And never knows
00:51:45I'm not that girl
00:51:51Don't wish
00:52:04Don't stop
00:52:07Wishing only wounds the heart
00:52:15I wasn't born for the rose and pearl
00:52:25There's a girl
00:52:27There's a girl I know
00:52:32He loves her soul
00:52:38Mmm
00:52:40I'm not that girl
00:52:47But I'm not a girl
00:53:01One song
00:53:07Thank you
00:53:08Thank you
00:53:10wol
00:53:14And now, please welcome the director of Wicked and Wicked for Good, John M. Chu.
00:53:44I am John M. Chu. I am the director of Wicked. Four-plus years of my life poured into this. My wife had three kids during this. Superstar. Anyway, directing this movie has been one of the highlights of my career, but I knew from the very beginning I had to get the casting just right, and we ended up with the perfect cast, right?
00:54:14But I have to tell you all that so many different people wanted to be in Wicked and sent us their casting tapes. You may have heard this.
00:54:24And tonight, for the first time, we are sharing some of the unseen footage from the Wicked auditions. Take a look.
00:54:37My name is Chris Ludacris Bridges, and I'll be reading for Glinda because I want to show people that I have range.
00:54:43Lainey Wilson, reading for Elphaba.
00:54:45My name is Ben Schwartz.
00:54:47I'm Rob Gronkowski, a.k.a. The Gronk.
00:54:49Do me a favor and I'll stand there. Thank you.
00:54:51Hi, I'm Shaquille O'Neal, and I'm reading for the part of Munchkin No. 5.
00:54:56Seven.
00:54:57Oh, Munchkin No. 7.
00:54:59I'm Khloe Kardashian, and I'm auditioning for Glinda because she's a good bitch. I mean, which? Which?
00:55:05So if you can't find me, look to the western sky.
00:55:10You. I'll show you what to choose. To wear.
00:55:14I am auditioning for the part of Glinda.
00:55:17Toss, toss.
00:55:19Hello.
00:55:20The toughest case of the answer place.
00:55:24Don't worry, I'm determined.
00:55:27You could be that boy, and I could be that girl.
00:55:345, 6, 7, 8.
00:55:35And if I'm flying solo, he'll be stumbling.
00:55:39What's that?
00:55:40She's already been cast? Not a problem.
00:55:42Not a problem.
00:55:43I didn't know which character, so.
00:55:45Popular.
00:55:46You're gonna be popular.
00:55:48Popular.
00:55:50Popular.
00:55:51You're gonna be popular.
00:55:52I'll teach you how to wear a voice.
00:55:55When you talk to boys, you're gonna be pop.
00:55:57What's that?
00:55:58She's cast as well.
00:56:00So who do you want me to audition?
00:56:01Flying monkey.
00:56:03Sure.
00:56:04Yeah, you got it.
00:56:05I'm just a fly.
00:56:06He doesn't sing.
00:56:07Or talk.
00:56:08Okay.
00:56:08I wanna be on the broom where it happens.
00:56:12The broom where it happens.
00:56:14Defying gravity.
00:56:15Battle cry.
00:56:17Here's my big finish, John Chu.
00:56:19Aww.
00:56:20Aww.
00:56:20Now that's wicked.
00:56:39Please welcome Bowen Yancey.
00:56:45Hello, everyone.
00:56:46Oh, aren't you nice?
00:56:48Hi, everyone.
00:56:51I know we're all having fun tonight,
00:56:52but this is actually a huge night for me.
00:56:55I don't know if you know this,
00:56:57but I originally went out for Fiero.
00:57:00I didn't get the part because John M. Chu said
00:57:02that I was too conventionally attractive
00:57:05and that rejection would make me a better fanny.
00:57:09That's the name of my character.
00:57:10Did you know that?
00:57:11Most people don't.
00:57:13But he was nice enough to let me be Fiero's understudy,
00:57:17which many have told me is not a job in movies.
00:57:23But seeing as Jonathan Bailey couldn't be here tonight,
00:57:28I am proud to be your Fiero this evening.
00:57:34And all I have to say is the trouble with the schools is
00:57:44they always try to teach their own lesson.
00:57:49Believe me, I'm going to have enough of them to know.
00:57:56They want you to become less callow, less shallow, guys.
00:58:00But I say, why invite stressors?
00:58:07Stop studying strength.
00:58:10Wow.
00:58:10And learn to live the unexamined life.
00:58:24Dancing through life, skimming the surface,
00:58:28gliding where turf is smooth.
00:58:30Life's more painless for the brainless.
00:58:36Why think too hard when it's so soothing?
00:58:40Dancing through life, no need to tough it
00:58:44when you can slough it off as I do.
00:58:48Nothing matters, but knowing nothing matters.
00:58:52It's just life, so keep dancing through.
00:58:56Hey, Bowen, Ethan, what the fuck are you doing?
00:59:01Nice job working my character name into the segment,
00:59:04but tonight, I'm Fiero's understudy.
00:59:06No, I'm Fiero's understudy.
00:59:07According to who?
00:59:08According to Chu, John M. Chu.
00:59:10Hey, what does the M stand for?
00:59:12I think movies?
00:59:13Yeah, movies.
00:59:14Get those Fiero duds off of you right now.
00:59:16Hold on, Bowen, I think I hear our cue coming up.
00:59:19Dancing through life, swaying and sweeping,
00:59:22And always keeping cool.
00:59:27Life is fraudless when you're thoughtless.
00:59:31Those who will try never look foolish.
00:59:35Dancing through life, mindless and careless.
00:59:39Be sure you're where less trouble is right.
00:59:42Woes are fleeting, flows are glancing.
00:59:46When you're dancing through life.
01:00:02That was really good.
01:00:04Come on, I'ma listen.
01:00:05What are you saying a woman can't play fiero no I think all women should play all roles you know this about me
01:00:35Well, we can't all be fiero. It's a little bit confusing. It's really not tonight's our night, and there's no rule that says we can't all be fiero
01:00:42Maybe Marissa's right. Yeah, maybe Marissa's right because fiero isn't just a person. He's a feeling. The feeling of wanting attention
01:00:49We can all relate to that
01:00:51Let's do as all fierros do
01:00:54Let's go down to the Ozdust Ballroom. We'll be there later tonight
01:01:00We can dance till it's light
01:01:05Find the prettiest girl
01:01:07Give her a whirl
01:01:09Right on down to the Ozdust Ballroom
01:01:13Come on, follow me
01:01:17You'll be happy to be there
01:01:21We'll be dancing through love
01:01:23We'll be dancing through love
01:01:25But only because love is what we consume
01:01:29Nothing matters
01:01:31Without knowing nothing matters
01:01:33It's just love
01:01:39It's just love
01:01:43So keep dancing
01:01:55You're good
01:01:56No, no. Oh
01:01:57You're good
01:01:58You're good
01:02:00You're good
01:02:01We're good
01:02:02Come on!
01:02:04Come on!
01:02:06Come on!
01:02:08Yeah!
01:02:10Woo!
01:02:12Hey!
01:02:14Hey!
01:02:16Hey!
01:02:18Hey!
01:02:20Hey!
01:02:22Hey!
01:02:24Hey!
01:02:26Hey!
01:02:28Hey!
01:02:36Please give a warm welcome to Academy Award winner Michelle Young.
01:02:58You are truly wicked, okay?
01:03:08Next up, we've got an amazing performance of one of the most beloved songs from the wicked universe.
01:03:16Performing a special arrangement of thank goodness for just tonight.
01:03:22Please welcome, the enchanting, the incomparable, Ariana Grande.
01:03:30Thank you very much.
01:03:34We couldn't be happier, right dear, couldn't be happier, right here.
01:03:44Look what we've got, a fairytale plot, our very own happiness.
01:03:50We couldn't be happier, right dear, couldn't be happier.
01:03:56We couldn't be happier, right here.
01:03:58Right here, look what we've got, a fairytale plot, our very own happy ending.
01:04:06Where we couldn't be happier, true dear, couldn't be happier.
01:04:14And we're happy to share, our ending vicariously, with all of you.
01:04:22He couldn't look handsomer, I couldn't feel humbler, we couldn't be happier.
01:04:32Because happy is what happens, when all your dreams come true.
01:04:42That's why I couldn't be happier, no, I couldn't be happier, though it is.
01:05:11I admit the tiniest bit, unlike I anticipated.
01:05:19But I couldn't be happier, simply couldn't be happier.
01:05:29Well, not simply, because getting your dreams is strange.
01:05:35But it seems a little, well, complicated.
01:05:41There's a kind of a side cost.
01:05:47There's a couple of things get lost.
01:05:53There are bridges you crossed, you didn't know.
01:05:59You crossed until you crossed.
01:06:07And that joy, like it real, doesn't thrill.
01:06:15Like you think it will, still.
01:06:19But I couldn't be happier.
01:06:21With this perfect finale, the cheers and the battle.
01:06:25Ooh, ooh, ooh, wouldn't be happier.
01:06:31So, I couldn't be happier.
01:06:35Because happy is what happens, when all your dreams come true.
01:06:47Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh.
01:07:13I Intense to be happier.
01:07:31I'm alone.
01:07:33Okay, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh.
01:07:35She's concentrating.
01:07:36This is very serious.
01:07:37Hey, what are you guys up to?
01:07:38Michelle's taking one of those
01:07:39which wicked character are you quizzes?
01:07:41Oh, fun.
01:07:42Okay, done.
01:07:44And the wicked character I most like is...
01:07:49Madame Marble.
01:07:51Right on the money.
01:07:51Nailed it.
01:07:52Wait, that's who you play in the movie.
01:07:54Great, Madame Marble.
01:07:55That's crazy.
01:07:56Exactly, bingo.
01:07:57Let me try, yeah.
01:07:57You should try it.
01:07:58Good, good, good.
01:07:59Okay, let's see.
01:08:02Very good, I like quizzes.
01:08:04Okay, and done.
01:08:05Uh, the character you are most like in Wicked.
01:08:10I'll be a ring-tailed monkey.
01:08:12It's the wizard.
01:08:13Wow.
01:08:14What a surprise.
01:08:14And that's your character.
01:08:16Yes.
01:08:17This is incredible.
01:08:18Incredible.
01:08:19I have to try.
01:08:19Yeah, you must try.
01:08:20Yes, yes.
01:08:21Okay, yeah.
01:08:23I think I know what he's gonna be.
01:08:24Okay.
01:08:25Playlist.
01:08:26The character's name is Finn.
01:08:27Okay, and the Wicked character I am most like is.
01:08:31Okay.
01:08:33What?
01:08:34Elphaba's broom?
01:08:35What?
01:08:36Interesting.
01:08:37Oh, golly.
01:08:38Elphaba's broom is not a character.
01:08:40Why is this even an option?
01:08:41I can kind of see it.
01:08:43Yeah, I totally see it.
01:08:44His posture is straight.
01:08:46I don't know what about me is giving Elphaba's broom, besides the fact that I wipe the floor
01:08:51with y'all.
01:08:52Ooh, ooh.
01:08:53That's harsh.
01:08:54Hey, Bowen, do you mind helping me open this?
01:08:56It's a little...
01:08:57What are you guys up to?
01:08:58We're taking one of those which-wicked-character-are-you quizzes.
01:09:01Bowen got Elphaba's broom.
01:09:03That's ridiculous.
01:09:04Thank you, my man, Ethan.
01:09:06I mean, I cannot believe I haven't seen it before.
01:09:09You are so Elphaba's broom.
01:09:11Right?
01:09:12Look at his face now.
01:09:13I think it's bristling.
01:09:14You get it?
01:09:15Bristles.
01:09:16Broom.
01:09:17Are we really gonna let some silly little quiz tell us who we are?
01:09:23That's not what Wicked is about.
01:09:25Wicked is about having the courage to be who you are, no matter what the world tells you.
01:09:33And with that, I bid you farewell.
01:09:39That's exactly how I imagined Elphaba's broom would sweep away!
01:09:44Cool legend!
01:09:48I love you still.
01:09:52Please put your hands together for Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande.
01:10:13We have a very special surprise for everyone in the audience tonight.
01:10:16Yes, if you would just look under your seats.
01:10:18No, no, Ariana.
01:10:19We cut that bit.
01:10:20Oh.
01:10:21Just kidding.
01:10:22What we're excited about is that Wicked For Good will feature two brand new songs written
01:10:26exclusively for the movie.
01:10:28And tonight we are thrilled to share a sneak peek of them both.
01:10:32The first song is sung stunningly by Cynthia and it's about Elphaba's dedication to protecting
01:10:43Oz, even as she faces rejection from everyone around her.
01:10:47It's called No Place Like Home.
01:10:54The second original song is a poignant solo song wonderfully by Ariana called The Girl in
01:10:59the Bubble.
01:11:00It captures the moment where Glinda decides not to just call herself good, but to truly
01:11:04become Glinda the Good.
01:11:05Let's take a special look at both.
01:11:11Why do I love this place that's never loved me?
01:11:21There's no place like home.
01:11:27There's no place like home.
01:11:48There's that beautiful girl
01:11:55With a beautiful life
01:11:58With such a beautiful life
01:12:01Built on lies
01:12:04For the girl
01:12:06In the bubble
01:12:08The paper, shiny bubble
01:12:11Isn't it my time
01:12:16For her bubble
01:12:19To part
01:12:20All of the music performed in tonight's broadcast special is available now.
01:12:34Please welcome Marissa Bodie.
01:12:38Wicked is filled with so many incredible songs, but there is one that stands out. It's connected with so many people from all over the world.
01:12:59I'm talking, of course, about Defying Gravity.
01:13:18The song is an ode to authenticity and about believing in yourself no matter what obstacles the world puts in your way.
01:13:22Performing Defying Gravity
01:13:24Please welcome the incredible Cynthia Erivo.
01:13:28Please welcome the incredible Cynthia Erivo.
01:13:30Please welcome the incredible Cynthia Erivo.
01:13:31Please welcome the incredible Cynthia Erivo.
01:13:47Something has changed within me.
01:13:52Something is not the same.
01:13:57I'm through with playing by the rules of someone else's game
01:14:07Too late for second guessing, too late to go back to sleep
01:14:17It's time to trust my instincts, close my eyes and leave
01:14:29It's time to try defying gravity
01:14:35I think I'll try defying gravity
01:14:41And you can't pull me down
01:14:49I'm through accepting limits
01:14:53Cause someone says they're so
01:14:57Some things I cannot change
01:14:59But till I try I'll never know
01:15:03Too long I've been afraid of losing love
01:15:07I guess I'm lost
01:15:09Well if that's love
01:15:11It comes at much too high a cost
01:15:15And sooner by defying gravity
01:15:21Kiss me God that I'm defying gravity
01:15:27And you can pull me down
01:15:33It comes at me
01:15:39So if you're kidding, it might be a lot to the western sky
01:15:47As someone told me later
01:15:51Everyone deserves a chance to fly
01:15:55And if I'm flying so long
01:15:59At least I'm flying free
01:16:03To those who crown me
01:16:05Take a message back from me
01:16:09Tell them how I'm defying gravity
01:16:15I'm flying back defying gravity
01:16:21And soon I'll match the memory down
01:16:27And nobody
01:16:29In all of us
01:16:31No wizard that there is
01:16:33Or was
01:16:35Is ever gonna
01:16:37Bring
01:16:39Me

01:16:45To the sky
01:16:47Bring
01:16:49To the sky
01:16:51To the sky
01:16:52To the sky
01:16:53To the sky
01:16:55To the sky
01:16:56The sky
01:16:59I
01:17:00I
01:17:02I
01:17:03Live
01:17:04I
01:17:05I
01:17:07I
01:17:09I
01:18:11Yes.
01:18:12I have addressed this.
01:18:13I have stolen.
01:18:14I'm a thief.
01:18:15You know.
01:18:16I have stolen from the closet of Glinda.
01:18:17It's okay.
01:18:18I think we all may have taken a thing or two.
01:18:20Yes.
01:18:21A memorabilia.
01:18:22Yes.
01:18:23Okay, next.
01:18:24Most likely to burst into song.
01:18:25Oh, yeah, actually.
01:18:26Yeah.
01:18:27For sure.
01:18:28Yeah.
01:18:29Whenever he's nervous, he's singing.
01:18:31He's always asking what do you think?
01:18:33Okay.
01:18:34Most likely to end up a director.
01:18:36Ooh.
01:18:37Why are you playing?
01:18:40I would love to.
01:18:41Because you want to be a director.
01:18:43Oh, yeah, actually.
01:18:44All of you.
01:18:45I'd say all of you.
01:18:46And Ethan, definitely.
01:18:47Directing, definitely.
01:18:48I feel like this.
01:18:49Ethan's right.
01:18:50Everyone is so creative and brilliant here.
01:18:53This is too damn hard.
01:18:55Most likely to accidentally spoil the plot in an interview.
01:18:59What?
01:19:00I'm cutting myself.
01:19:01Yeah.
01:19:02Phone's like, there's this one thing that they cut
01:19:04that they said never to mention or show anyone ever.
01:19:07That was awesome.
01:19:08It was this.
01:19:09That's you.
01:19:10Amazing.
01:19:11What a wonderful, like, ragtag bunch of folks we are
01:19:15to get to be able to do this together.
01:19:17Meant to be, for sure.
01:19:20Because I can't really imagine doing this with anyone else,
01:19:23you know?
01:19:24We won't see each other sometimes.
01:19:26Maybe months.
01:19:27Maybe years.
01:19:28But I think when we do see each other,
01:19:30we will just pick up where we left off.
01:19:32That's right.
01:19:33Wow.
01:19:34We should do this again.
01:19:35We should do it more often.
01:19:36I will be...
01:19:37Pastries were left...
01:19:38We'll take some.
01:19:39We'll put them in boxes.
01:19:40Someone take the flowers.
01:19:41Oh.
01:19:42I'll take the flowers.
01:19:43I love flowers.
01:19:45I'll take them.
01:19:46Look at you.
01:19:47Yeah, good.
01:19:48I'll help you.
01:19:49I'll help you.
01:19:50You got it?
01:19:51We are stealing.
01:19:52We are stealing.
01:19:53I'll take them.
01:19:54I'll take them.
01:19:55I'll take them down.
01:19:57It's a really nice table.
01:19:58Oh, no.
01:19:59Don't seal the table.
01:20:00Oh, no.
01:20:01Don't seal the table.
01:20:02Oh, my God.
01:20:03Take the table.
01:20:04Bye, guys.
01:20:05See you later.
01:20:06Yeah, good point.
01:20:07Thank you so much.
01:20:08Someone help.
01:20:09Cynthia, please.
01:20:10All right.
01:20:11Well, here we are.
01:20:18Wicked is a movie that teaches us to look beneath the surface and see the beauty in our differences.
01:20:23And Oz has always been a magical place that celebrates uniqueness and embraces every color of the rainbow.
01:20:29In times like these that feel so divided as if we're reading from different pages and different books.
01:20:36We want you all to know that you're never alone and you're safe with us and we love you so much.
01:21:11Before the judge will come

01:21:19All together

01:21:38Now we're going
01:21:42To the promised land

01:21:50Across the river
01:21:52Soon your cares
01:21:54Will all be gone
01:21:56There'll be
01:21:58No more
01:22:01From now on
01:22:04From now on
01:22:07When I get in trouble
