It’s good to see the Wicked gang again, isn’t it? For the latest installment of Off the Cuff, Ariana Grande, Cynthia Erivo, and Jonathan Bailey—the three estimable stars of Wicked: For Good, in theaters on November 21—gathered ’round to answer questions about their guilty pleasures, hidden talents, and most memorable fashion moments. Lots of silliness ensued.
If ever you’ve wondered where Erivo would take Bailey “on holiday,” her very thoughtful answer is Iceland: “I think you need to relax, and there are some really great spas there.” If ever you’ve wanted to hear Grande’s Hermione Granger impression, you’re in luck. (It is very good—and her two British co-stars will back her up on that.) Did you know how much Bailey loves George Michael’s “Freedom! ’90,” or how devoted Erivo is to the Real Housewives franchise? (Needless to say, she is delighted that the series now has a London cast.)
At other points, the three gab about musical instruments, favorite designers and style inspirations, the Dior suit that Bailey bought at 22 (and still has!), the pieces of wardrobe that both Grande and Erivo took from the Wicked set, the time that Grande performed at the American Music Awards with a 103º fever (a professional!)… and so very much more. This is one you won’t want to miss.
