A new video featurette has been released from the upcoming Wicked film – exploring how singing was done live in the flick.

Watch cast members Cynthia Erivo (Elphaba), Ariana Grande (Glinda), Jonathan Bailey (Fiyero), and more talk about how Wicked incorporated live performance into takes and scenes.

Joining Erivo, Grande and Bailey in the much-anticipated big-screen adaptation are Oscar winner Michelle Yeoh as Madame Morrible, Tony nominee Ethan Slater as Boq, Marissa Bode as Nessarose, Jeff Goldblum as the Wizard of Oz, and Peter Dinklage as Dr Dillamond.
