Depraved took the nation by storm final 12 months and the Idina Menzel and Kristin Chenoweth cameos had been the icing on that deliciously enjoyable cake. It’s an plain megahit musical and everybody appears to have their favourite songs, together with the OG Elphaba and Glinda of Broadway. Menzel and Chenoweth unsurprisingly love their respective songs however a few of their favorites aren’t those they sang.
The Frozen actress and Our Little Secret alum have been usually included within the cinematic adaptation’s press tour, naturally so, and have been killing it. Menzel tapped in for Ariana Grande to seem with Cynthia Erivo on a carpet and the Elphabas’ coordinated outfits delivered. All 4, Menzel, Chenoweth, Grande and Erivo appeared collectively for an Leisure Weekly interview. The clip, through their Instagram, has the 4 stars speaking about their favourite Ozian songs.
The current Elphaba and Glinda talked about, previous to the film, they’d solely ever sang the opposite’s songs publicly. Chenoweth shares that she was so happy to listen to Cynthia Erivo’s model of a traditional Glinda track.
I’m so glad you sang Thank Goodness. It’s my favourite track.
As somebody who’s unfamiliar with the unique Broadway present and solely has Depraved context by way of the film, I’m actually trying ahead to experiencing the track in full. Idina Menzel then revealed it was her favourite track from the present, too.
That’s my favourite track. Don’t inform anyone. You recognize it’s. I imply I really like all of the Elphaba songs. However, you realize, if you’re doing it eight exhibits every week.
I can’t blame her for it. Broadway dedication is unparalleled, and performing your respective character and their songs night time after night time can get repetitive. Though, the Elphaba songbook is likely one of the most fun ones for contemporary exhibits.
Kristin Chenoweth jumped in and confirmed that she knew of her Broadway accomplice’s favourite track, then added her favourite Elphaba track.
And I really like I’m Not That Lady.
It’s an excellent second between the 4, exhibiting love for his or her respective counterpoint’s character’s songs. I feel it was a wise and pure transfer to incorporate the OG’s within the film and for the press. It’s drummed up hype and perhaps helped garner some criticisms a la One Million Mothers. Chenoweth neatly addressed their critiques head on and stored it very Glinda-like. I don’t know if the film would have been precisely the identical with out their presence.
It was attention-grabbing to study in regards to the authentic plans for the duo’s cameo and the way it all modified in the midst of an evening. How they’ve them feels good to me, and it is a enjoyable and theatrical a part of a quantity the place they will actually shine. Jon M. Chu revealed that the subsequent Depraved film will carry on one other Ozian icon, Dorothy, and it looks like she can have a much bigger half than what some might count on.
As for Chenoweth and Menzel, hopefully, they’ll seem once more in Depraved: For Good, which is a part of the 2025 film schedule. I additionally hope they’re on the press circuit once more and reveal some extra of their emotions for Elphaba and Glinda. Depraved continues to be taking part in in theaters and out there on VOD companies.
