“Their DNA is all over this.
This is the thing that I watched that inspired me and stayed with me for over 20 years.
It was about what would give them the most reverence?
What was the proper way to honor them?”
“We insisted,” Erivo told EW.
“We were like, ‘This is not happening without them, so where is it?'”
“But doing it through Kristin and Idina could be wonderful.
The fact that they were the wise women of Oz felt so great.
We love paying homage to them in there.”

Schwartz wrote the part specifically for them, then called asking the two Broadway icons if theyd do it.
“I said, ‘Just make us look pretty,'” Menzel told EW.
There was only one edit they needed the production team to make before they would sign off.
“We both texted,” Chenoweth told EW.
“And she said, ‘Have you seen the description of us in the movie?’
It didn’t say ‘old and decrepit,’ but it was something like that.

Menzel added, “We said, ‘Cant we just be beautiful fairy goddesses?'”
“Listen, I don’t write the words for that,” he joked.
It was corrected very quickly, let me put it that way.”
“Theres probably a lot of cameos that you missed,” he said.
I wouldn’t say there’s a ton that I would point out to you.
I want you to find it yourself, but keep looking.”
