‘Wicked’ Choreographer on Ariana Grande’s High Kick, Viral Dance Moves and Why ‘No Books Were Harmed’ in ‘Dancing Through Life’
'Wicked' choreographer Christopher Scott on the movie's viral dance moves and taking advantage of Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo's dance skills.
“I’d take my ticket stub, and they would let me back in, so I paid once, but I saw it probably 10 times,” Scott tells Variety, recalling the summer of 1998 when he religiously watched (and rewatched) “Blade” starring Wesley Snipes. When I popped up on screen, I was crying.” (Scott is the gentleman who takes Elphaba and Glinda’s coats when the witches pull into the Emerald City train station.) It should be noted that “Wicked” is far from Scott’s first foray into making magic on the big screen: His partnership with the film’s director Jon M. Chu began 17 years ago on “Step Up 2: The Streets” and has continued ever since.
