00:00Ariana, Ariana, what do you think of Cynthia's outfit?
00:04Now this is a ball gown.
00:05You're so sweet.
00:06I love you.
00:09Oh, it took a minute. The whole process was to pull on the pinks in the outfit.
00:15Can we talk about the nails?
00:16Oh, you love the nails.
00:17I love the nails.
00:18So, this took about seven hours.
00:20Seven hours for the nails.
00:23That's a tricky question.
00:24That's such a good idea.
00:25We might. Should we try?
00:27We should.
00:28We should ask if we can.
00:29Let's ask.
00:30What scene from Wicked are you most excited for people to see between the two of you?
00:36I mean, there's a lot. And we've expanded a lot and grown in it.
00:41I love everything that we got to do together.
00:42This jacket makes me feel so much stronger.
00:44I know. We're literally winning.
00:45We might be doing Broadway together.
00:49That's so nice.
00:50We have to figure it out.
00:51Someday. That would be fun.
00:53That could be cool. Like a little one-nighter.
00:55What was your favorite thing about Cynthia's performance in Wicked?
00:58Oh, my God. I mean...
01:00Don't you dare cry.
01:01No, I won't. I won't.
01:02But, I mean...
01:04I mean, she just humanizes her in such an extraordinary way.
01:08And brings her to life in...
01:10Oh, my God. Sorry. I got scared.
01:14In her own way.
01:15And it's just so beautiful.
01:16I mean, you get to do so much more on film, I think.
01:18The stage version.
01:19So many brilliant women have played both of these roles.
01:22Yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:23So, it's such an exciting opportunity to be able to play with a camera.
01:28And sort of see what you can find.
01:29And she just...
01:30Your eyes. Her eyes. Her hands.
01:33She just...
01:34It's otherworldly.
01:36I'll never forget a minute of filming with her.
01:38What about Ariana's performance?
01:40Her heart is on her sleeve.
01:41Consistently.
01:42She's so open and generous with her performance.
01:45That it's so easy to be in a scene with her.
01:48Because you look at her eyes and you know she's telling the truth.
01:50So, it's a wonderful thing to be able to look at your scene partner and do that.
01:58Every song.
01:59Especially working with Jeff Goldblum.
02:01He will make you sing every song.
02:02He will make you sing everything.
02:06I don't know why I love you like I do.
02:07That's right.
02:08Yes.
02:09And what did you guys do?
02:10I think it was like, you make me love you.
02:12Yes, yes, yes.
02:14Can you guys give us a little harmony together?
02:16I don't know. Maybe. Maybe.
02:19We have to wait for it.
02:20Yes.
02:21How do you guys party together?
02:23We're both homebodies.
02:25Are you going home early?
02:27Cynthia, are you going home early tonight?
02:28No. Not at all. I'll be out.
02:31What's the most wicked thing about the Met Gala?
02:33This is a green carpet for goodness sake.
