Ariana Grande Breaks Down Surprises in Wicked Film

Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo recently shared intriguing behind-the-scenes details of their blockbuster film Wicked, revealing hidden Easter eggs, improvised moments, and a surprising secret cameo.

In a five-hour-long commentary about the movie, Ariana Grande, known for hits like “Thank U, Next,” delighted fans by shedding light on an exciting cameo that had puzzled many viewers. Fans were left wondering about the identity of the Tamarin Monkey featured in the film, and Grande finally revealed the mystery.

“It’s Steve from Sex and the City,” the Victorious star shared with a laugh. David Eigenberg, who famously played Steve Brady in the iconic series from 1998 to 2004, lent his voice to the film in an uncredited role. Grande gushed, “He makes a cameo. He has one line, and it’s the best line in the whole thing.”

Eigenberg’s singular line as the Tamarin Monkey in the Wizard of Oz prequel was both brief and memorable: “A solicitor was sacked just for arguing a case.” Grande expressed her admiration for Eigenberg, saying, “It’s the most wild thing in the world. You were great on 20 seasons of Sex and the City.”

The cameo appears at a pivotal moment in the film when Elphaba visits her Shiz University professor, Dr. Dillamond, played by Peter Dinklage. Dr. Dillamond, a goat, is holding court to discuss the increasingly hostile environment towards Oz’s talking animals, adding tension to the storyline.

Wicked has received widespread critical acclaim, becoming the highest-grossing Broadway adaptation in global box office history. The film’s success has been recognized with numerous accolades, including nominations at the SAG Awards and Critics Choice Awards, as well as winning the Cinematic and Box Office Achievement Award at the Golden Globes.

Fans eager to learn more about the making of Wicked can access the movie’s commentary as part of a bonus feature available on digital platforms. Grande and Erivo’s insights add a new layer of appreciation for the film, offering fans a deeper look at the magic behind the scenes. With its record-breaking success and engaging cast, Wicked continues to captivate audiences worldwide.
