During their rehearsals for their characters Fiyero Tigelaar and Galinda “Glinda” Upland in Wicked, the two stars experienced some challenges. In an interview with GQ Magazine, Jonathan Bailey shared amusing stories from their practice sessions, admitting that after just three days of rehearsals, he learned a dance move in four hours, performed it with Ariana Grande, and then headbutted her before rushing off, saying “Gotta go!”. It appears the dance scenes were equally challenging for Ariana, as she too shared an incident where she may have reciprocated the headbutt, but jokingly described it as a “meeting of minds, literally.

Prior to the launch of the sequel “Wicked: For Good,” the lead actors appear to be getting along wonderfully. The trailer for this anticipated sequel has been released, showcasing Erivo’s Elphaba joining forces with Glinda to combat an unusual wizard. Fans have responded favorably to the video, expressing enthusiasm for the film’s release on November 21.

Currently, viewers are eagerly anticipating Jonathan Bailey’s return as Lord Anthony Bridgerton in the fourth season of the widely-acclaimed Netflix series. His captivating dynamic with Simone Ashley’s character, Kate Sharma, garnered positive attention. In contrast, Season 4 of Bridgerton is expected to delve into the romantic storyline between Benedict Bridgerton and Sophie Baek, portrayed by Luke Thompson and Yerin Ha.

On the contrary, following their intense collaboration in “Wicked,” Cynthia Erivo, Ariana Grande, and Jonathan Bailey are preparing for the marketing push of “Wicked: For Good” towards the end of the year. With the positive reception to the most recent trailer, it is anticipated that this release will be highly successful.
