If you’ve been following the press tour for Wicked, you know there’s been a lot of hand-holding and crying.
The latest chapter in the extensive Wicked lore is the singular connection between the film’s two stars: Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande.
Why can’t we get enough of them? Because they seem to have manifested their dream roles and found a life-altering friendship along the way.
So, it was clever of Xfinity and Goodby Silverstein & Partners to canonize the narrative with a short film directed by Wicked’s own cinematographer, Alice Brooks.
The spot sees Erivo and Grande as little girls and then powerhouses on separate paths through fame, finally converging in the opportunity of a lifetime.
The connection to Xfinity? Well, they get the good news over videoconferencing.
