They all have a cozy spot in my heart,\u201d Grande advised me on the crimson carpet on the Palm Springs International Film Awards Friday evening. \u201cI love the train station scene with Boq (Ethan Slater) and Elphaba (Erivo). That\u2019s one of my favorite lines. The first time I read the script that line Boq says, \u2018Sorry, I misunderstood. I thought we were being honest,\u2019 me and my acting coach Nancy Banks, we put so many hearts around because we were like, \u2018That\u2019s the best line in the whole movie.\u2019 I think that scene has a lot of magnificent work in it, so I miss that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tThen, Grande teased that there are many deleted scenes that haven&#8217;t been launched\u2026but. \u201cI\u2019m talking to Jon,\u201d she mentioned.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tErivo was additionally unhappy to see the Elphaba and Boq prepare scene go. \u201cI love that scene so much, so I was gutted when it was not there,\u201d she mentioned. \u201cAnd the scene in the forest (with Jonathan Bailey\u2019s Fiyero) right before I go and put the lion down\u2026 I was like, \u2018Why?\u2019 That I missed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tAnother of Erivo\u2019s favourite scenes was the alternate on the prepare station when Glinda and Madam Morrible (Michelle Yeoh) comes rise up for Elphaba when her father Governor Thropp places her down.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\t\u201cI loved that moment because it felt like people were holding her up,\u201d Erivo defined. \u201cThose are the three scenes that I hate that they\u2019re gone, but they\u2019re there now, so you can see them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tWhile Chu admitted that \u201cevery\u201d deleted scene was \u201cdifficult\u201d to depart on the slicing room flooring, one scene was significantly powerful to lose.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\t\u201cThe promise was a hard one because Ari and Cynthia are doing such great work,\u201d he mentioned. \u201cBut what I found is it takes a little bit of the tension away from the next scene (when Elphaba is invited to the Emerald City.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tChu defined: \u201cIf you know there\u2019s a promise and Elphaba is a woman of her word, then you know she\u2019s going to invite [Glinda]. But if you don\u2019t know where they are at and if you don\u2019t know that Glinda has a sense Fiyero and her having a little thing, it makes her smarter and a little bit of a surprise. So it was very difficult. And at that point, our movie is at two hours \u2013 let\u2019s get to the Emerald City and get to the Wizard (Jeff Goldblum).\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-1234848148\" src=\"https:\/\/variety.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Just-for-Variety-Logo-Lockup-Headshot.png?w=639\" alt=\"\" width=\"639\" height=\"236\" srcset=\"https:\/\/variety.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Just-for-Variety-Logo-Lockup-Headshot.png 639w, https:\/\/variety.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Just-for-Variety-Logo-Lockup-Headshot.png?resize=150,55 150w, https:\/\/variety.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Just-for-Variety-Logo-Lockup-Headshot.png?resize=300,111 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (min-width: 87.5rem) 1000px, (min-width: 78.75rem) 681px, (min-width: 48rem) 450px, (max-width: 48rem) 250px\"\/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>[ad_2]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[ad_1] Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo are revealing which scenes reduce from \u201cWicked\u201d left them most heartbroken to see deleted from the Jon M.
