00:00So nice to see you, Emily.

00:01Oh, nice to see you.

00:02I love the jacket.

00:03Are we channeling your character a bit in this?

00:06Well, a little bit.

00:08Look at this.

00:09Look at this.

00:09Watch.

00:10That's kind of wizard-y, isn't it?

00:14So how great is it to continue on this road of Wicked?

00:18And it's just part one.

00:20I mean, to see Cynthia, their Oscar nominations,

00:22what does it mean to you to support them and to be there?

00:25Unbelievable.

00:26To know and to have seen them work, Ariana and Cynthia.

00:37Just great.

00:38They're just great.

00:39And they care.

00:40You know, the whole cast, the whole ensemble

00:42cared about the project so much.

00:44I've been in great movies with great groups

00:47who have been enthusiastic about a script.

00:49But you know, we all have cried and been

00:51in love with this material for 20 years.

00:55I saw it on stage with Chris Chenoweth and Idina Menzel.

01:01So we were all dying to make this good for the sake

01:06of the fans and for ourselves.

01:08And Jon M. Chu is the greatest director in the world.

01:12We were excited about it.

01:13And Cynthia and Ariana made a relationship.

01:17They knew they had to work together for a couple of years

01:19and be on screen this story about women

01:23who come to love each other.

01:26And they love each other and were so kind to each other.

01:29And that trickled down to all of us.

01:31It was a very special tour.

01:33Well, listen, Jeff, we are hearing

01:35that at the Oscars, Wicked is opening the show.

01:39Have you heard this rumor?

01:41I know nothing about it.

01:42I know absolutely nothing.

01:45As Schulz used to say, I know nothing.

01:48I know nothing.

01:51I don't know if you saw this, but Cynthia

01:53went on Chicken Shop Day.

01:55And they kind of mixed up her songs with Wicked songs.

01:57So we did Ariana's.

01:59So I want to tell you them, OK?

02:02I like this game.

02:03OK, God is a munchkin.

02:06God is a munchkin.

02:10I like that already.

02:11Of course, God is a woman is the correct one.

02:13Dangerous munchkin.

02:15Dangerous woman, of course.

02:19My personal favorite, the scarecrow is mine.

02:22The scarecrow is mine.

02:23That, of course, refers to exactly.

02:27Fake wand.

02:28What, what, what?

02:29Fake wand instead of fake smile.

02:31Fake smile, I love, but fake wand, you know.

02:34And thank you, next.

02:36How about thank you munchkin next?

02:37Oh, Jeff, that's a good one.

02:40I just made up one.

02:43Listen, part two, I know you guys just put out part one,

02:46but we're like dying for part two.

02:48So can you give us a little bit of what we can expect?

02:53I don't know if I can.

02:55You know, there's much that ensues.

02:58You know, if you know the show at all,

03:00it follows something along the lines of many

03:03of those unexpected events, and thrilling, and emotional,

03:06and relic-ly, relic-ing, entertaining events.

03:11And there might be some songs, and musicality, and tears

03:15to shed, and it's a great celebration.

03:18Thank you so much.

03:19You are the best.

03:20You are so good, Emily.

03:21Such a pleasure.
