Ariana Grande Explained Why She Purposefully Didn’t Learn The Choreography For This Emotional “Wicked” Moment With Cynthia Erivo

Elsewhere, in an interview on the Sentimental Men podcast, Cynthia also talked about Ariana choosing not to learn the choreography for this moment, saying, “Whenever we would do the dance together, she would try to forget it. She didn’t want to over-rehearse it because she wanted to learn on the spot. So it’s like teaching a person this piece, her language, fresh every time.”

She added, “I think in that moment they really see each other. It’s when Glinda sees, ‘Oh, that’s a human being.’ That moment when Glinda dances on her own and tries to do this dance, I always think, is the most vulnerable moment of asking for forgiveness and wanting to connect. And the first time Elphaba, sort of, says, ‘Follow me,’ and she puts her hands and waits, that’s an ‘Okay. Should we start again?'”
