Wicked: Part One hits theaters on November 22, 2024.
Jeff Goldblum stopped by Good Morning America on Monday to discuss the new Netflix series, Kaos, where he plays the Greek God Zeus. Also in the interview, Goldblum teased the upcoming Wicked movie, where he plays The Wizard alongside Ariana Grande, Cynthia Erivo, Michelle Yeoh, and Jonathan Bailey.
The actor expressed his love for the play itself, sharing that he saw it originally on Broadway and then, more recently, with his family in London. He went on to speak highly of his co-stars Grande and Erivo calling them both "a gift", and that they are "spectacular" in the film.
He also revealed how, even when they would break on set, the singing wouldn't stop: "In between takes, we would just sing, sing, sing. I should have been intimidated by [Grande and Erivo] they're masters of the craft. But they were so sweet, and we sang every jazz song and show tune that I knew."
