1 year ago 13

Jonathan as Fiyero, and Ariana as Glinda? Ya, I’m dancing through life.

Never has a green and yellow uniform looked so good. As any Wicked fan knows by now, Jonathan Bailey (yes, that Jonathan Bailey from Bridgerton) plays the cute but conceited Fiyero in the upcoming film.

OK, this photos is e-v-e-r-y-t-h-i-n-g! Bailey and Grande are full-body laughing and look impeccable. Bailey is donning that signature green and yellow Fiyero uniform, while Grande is wearing a purple gown and tiara, as is her right as Glinda.

As the photo makes perfectly clear, Bailey already has the character’s signature charm down. Well, not that the actor was ever lacking in charisma himself — far from it.

That’s about it for now, though, when it comes to teasers for the movie. This is, of course, outside of the official first look photos of Glinda and Elphaba that dropped in March. You can check out those photos here.

Wicked is directed by Jon M. Chu, who is best known for directing Crazy Rich Asians and In The Heights. The adaption is co-written by Winnie Holzman and Stephen Schwartz, who also originated the 2003 musical.
