Watch Kelly Ripa Take Over for Ariana Grande as Glinda in ‘Wicked’ Trailer Remake


'Live With Kelly and Mark' promoted their Oscars after-show with a hilarious 'Wicked' remake with Kelly Ripa as Glinda and Mark Consuelos as Fiyero.

In a two-minute clip shared by the morning show on Tuesday (Feb. 25), Mark Consuelos and Kelly Ripa take turns reciting the opening line: “The Land of Oz-cars, where envy is green and faces defy gravity.” Ripa even lip-sync’s Cynthia Erivo’s viral “Defying Gravity” riff as Elphaba before the scene ends. The Jon M. Chu-directed Wicked, released in theaters in November, has grossed $727.8 million worldwide as of Feb. 18, notching itself as the top-grossing film based on a Broadway musical.
