Former Glindas Emily Tierney and Louise Dearman Filmed Cut Scene in WICKED: FOR GOOD

We're seeing triple! Wicked musical alums Emily Tierney and Louise Dearman were originally featured in a scene with Ariana Grande in Wicked: For Good. The performers, both of whom have played Glinda in UK productions of the stage show, filmed a scene alongside Grande, which was ultimately cut in the final film.

Tierney took to Instagram to share behind-the-scenes photos and recollections from the experience. "Had a gorgeous time shooting a scene in the new Wicked movie with Ariana Grande and few of my fellow ex Glindas and Elphabas," wrote the performer. "It was sadly cut in the final edit - the joys of being an actor - and didn’t make the movie but Jon M. Chu couldn’t have made us feel more special on set and Ariana was a total dream. And I got to hang out with my ex witchy pals."

Tierney previously played Glinda in a UK tour of Wicked, with Dearman taking on both Elphaba and Glinda in Wicked on the West End. Check out the post below, which sees the actors in costume filming a scene that appears to have taken place in Emerald City.

Chu and stars Cynthia Erivo as Elphaba, Ariana Grande as Glinda, Jonathan Bailey as Fiyero, Jeff Goldblum as The Wizard, Michelle Yeoh as Madame Morrible, Ethan Slater as Boq, and Marissa Bode as Nessarose.
