Besides being a gifted actress, Millie Bobby Brown has a deep passion for musical theater as well. Among the many musicals she adores, ‘Wicked’ happens to be one of her top picks.

Brown confessed that she’s quite fond of music, particularly from Broadway,” she explained, and this affection was evidently reflected on the set of ‘Stranger Things’, leaving an indelible impression.

In the course of shooting a particular scene, series co-creator Matt Duffer mentioned that actress Millie Bobby Brown had asked for a specific musical moment. Specifically, she wanted them to play “Defying Gravity” while she was suspended in midair using a harness, so she could give the illusion of flying like Elphaba.

The scene was quite amusing for the team, not only due to Brown’s dedicated performance in her role-play, but also because she knew it would irritate the Duffer brothers, as he explained, “Not just because she enjoys the song, but because she knows it annoys us a bit.

Regardless of her playful behavior, Brown could quickly transition from that state, according to the Duffers. “As soon as the camera starts rolling, it’s almost like she changes in a blink of an eye—she transforms into Eleven,” they mentioned.

Her knack for blending enjoyment with diligence is one of the factors that sets her apart as a remarkable performer. Although the Duffer brothers may have found herself a bit excessive in her enthusiasm for “Wicked,” it’s evident they appreciate her commitment and skill.
