‘Wicked’ Choreographer Christopher Scott On Where “Practical Theater Meets Cinema” & Finding “Reality In The Moment”
Choreographer Christopher Scott discusses finding moments of reality in the songs and where practical theater meets cinema for 'Wicked'.
Based on the long-running Broadway musical, Wicked follows the relationship between Elphaba (Cynthia Erivo) and Glinda (Ariana Grande) as they meet at Shiz University to study magic. Though the story takes place in the fantastical world of Oz, Scott says the most successful musicals always have their moments of song and dance grounded in a sense of reality. When we were rehearsing, [director] Jon [M. Chu] gave a really detailed layout for this number on purpose because they needed time to make the stuff for the ideas that we were coming up with.
