Ariana Grande has Glinda (aka chaotic) energy in a new video that captures one week on the set of the Wicked movie. In the video, Grande and director Jon M. Chu recall some of the most memorable moments on set including freestyle comedy, jumping on beds, falling off balconies, and more. 

All of the moments in the video appear to take place earlier in the film during Glinda's time with Elphaba at Shiz University. The behind-the-scenes footage features Grande donning a couple of characteristic pink outfits and pink high-heels to match. Watch the video above!
