To celebrate the at-home release of Wicked: For Good, Rolling Stone AU/NZ can share an exclusive behind-the-scenes clip from the film.
The never-before-seen cut explores the secret bond between Glinda (Ariana Grande) and Elphaba (Cynthia Erivo), shared by the actresses themselves.
“I was so proud of us for wanting to go there. For wanting to be that intimate,” Erivo said.
Wicked: For Good is available to rent or buy now exclusively on digital platforms from Universal Pictures Home Entertainment, which also includes an exclusive singalong for fans and over one hour of bonus features, deleted scenes and a 50+ minute look into the making of the film.

Following its release last November, Grande called her involvement in the Wicked franchise the “greatest gift of my life”.
“Oz has been my safe space for as long as I can remember,” she wrote. “The characters within these pages teach us how to love unconditionally with one’s whole heart; to laugh; to forgive (even when it’s most painful); to fiercely protect ourselves and each other (yes, sometimes even from each other); to look inward; to be curious and not afraid of acknowledging our own wickedness in order to grow away from it and toward goodness, because we all contain both; to see the beauty in all things; especially the unfamiliar; to be honest, because to be honest is to be kind; and to fight for what is truly, deeply good . . . even if it takes us a long, scary walk down the Yellow Brick Road to discoverate what that means for each of us.”
It continued: “Now to see how it has moved and been there for you all in the same way that it has for me over the course of my life has been the most meaningful, moving, and cherished gift of all,” she continued. “You’ll never know what that truly means to me. I’m so thankful to have been a tiny piece of this bubble puzzle and to be your Glinda.”
