‘Wicked’ costume designer shares details on Idina Menzel, Kristin Chenoweth’s dresses

Idina Menzel and Kristin Chenoweth, who originally played Elphaba and Glinda in 2003 musical Wicked, made a cameo in the Wicked: Part One.

The costume designer Paul Tazewell shared behind-the-scenes details about creating their stunning looks for the cameo.

Speaking with PEOPLE magazine, Paul shares that he had limited time to work with the stars, traveling between New York and London to ensure perfect dresses.

“They’re both still pretty bright chromatically and sparkly, but I tried to give them opposites. And it was a mad dash to get everything because it all came together all at once very quickly,” he says.

Paul added, “We were working tirelessly to pull it all together and make these happen. And I was flying to New York and fitting and then flying back [to London], but we made it happen, and it was really wonderful.”

It is worth mentioning that Idina and Kristin expressed their excitement on Instagram, sharing BTS photos from their day on set.

“This was a special day. Sisterhood all around,” Idina shared, while Kristin added, “one short day the most magical time back in the emerald city who saw @wickedmovie this weekend?!?”
