Here's four Wicked facts you might not know about the movie.
00:06
Like number four, did you know Dove Cameron, Amanda Seyfried, and Renee Rapp all auditioned
00:11
for the role of Glinda?
00:12
It's true.
00:13
Renee even commented on Ariana getting Glinda on Watch What Happens Live.
00:17
It was the question, did you audition for it?
00:19
Was that the question?
00:20
No, the rumor.
00:21

00:49
her own flying stunts for the movie?
00:52
And our number one Wicked fact, the whole cast sang live on set while filming the movie.

That is also a recording studio, so that raw and real emotion that we are recording on

set right now will be what you hear and experience in the theater.
