Behind the Scenes of "Wicked: One Wonderful Night"
During the taping of Wicked: One Wonderful Night at the Dolby Theatre on September 24, audiences witnessed an exclusive glimpse of the show's behind-the-scenes magic. The theater was filled with dedicated Wicked fans, many dressed for the special occasion.
What You Didn't See on TV
- The audience participated in learning choreography for the opening number, No One Mourns the Wicked.
- Attendees seated in the orchestra section were given faux tulips and taught to perform flower choreography from the film, tossing them on cue during Ariana Grande's entrance as Glinda the Good.
- The group rehearsed multiple times before dancers joined for the final run-through and filming.
- Sequences were filmed out of order and included complete musical numbers along with scene-to-scene transitions.
- The broadcast featured notable moments like the duet of the Judy Garland-Barbra Streisand classic, “Happy Days Are Here Again/Get Happy,” performed by Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo.
“Oz may have told us to pay no attention to the man behind the curtain, but at the Dolby Theatre taping of ‘Wicked: One Wonderful Night,’ audiences were treated to a rare peek at the magic behind the scenes.”
Despite many highlights making it to air, several charming off-camera moments, including multiple takes of “Defying Gravity,” were left out of the final cut.
Summary
The taping showcased a unique combination of audience engagement, intricate choreography, and behind-the-scenes magic, offering fans a memorable experience beyond the televised performance.
