Wicked: Ariana Grande shares behind-the-scenes photos with Cynthia Erivo

Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo prepare for their devilish debut in the highly anticipated film adaptation of the movie Bad Broadway musical.

The couple took to Instagram to share a series of behind-the-scenes photos to show what fans can expect in the coming months.

“Until (not) good,” the Instagram post says.

The first black and white picture shows Grande and Erivo holding hands. The “Focus” singer wears a polka dot dress and white gloves, while Erivo wears a plaid ensemble. A second photo of the duo shows them looking at each other from the back of a vehicle as Grande wears her signature ponytail.

The next photo shows Erivo and Grande holding hands and the last photo is a photo of their shoes.

Jon M. Chu’s film adaptation will be split into two parts. The first part was recently moved to Wednesday 27 November 2024. The sequel is scheduled for release next year on December 25, 2025.

The film’s director shared a letter in April 2022 explaining why the story had to be split into two parts.

“As we prepared for this production over the past year, it became increasingly clear to us that this would be impossible Bad in a single film without actually doing him any harm,” the letter reads. “When we tried to trim songs or shorten characters, those decisions felt like fatal compromises with the source material we’d been dealing with for so many years.”

Chu continued, “So we decided to give ourselves a bigger canvas and not just make one Bad Movie only TWO!!!! With more space we can tell the story Bad how it should be told, while adding even more depth and surprise to the journeys of these beloved characters.

In addition to Grande as Glinda and Erivo as Elphaba, the cast also includes Bowen Yang, Keala Settle, Marissa Bode, Brownwyn James, Michelle Yeoh, Ethan Slater and Jonathan Bailey.
