Video: Jonathan Bailey Teases WICKED Movie: 'It's Going to Be Fresh and New'

Jonathan Bailey stopped by Good Morning America on Friday to discuss his Emmy nomination for Fellow Travelers.

Also in the interview, the performer teased the highly-anticipated film adaptation of Wicked, coming this November. Bailey plays the character of Fiyero in the movie, who serves as Elphaba's love interest.

"It's going to be amazing," the actor said. "Cynthia Erivo, Ariana Grande, Michelle Yeoh, and Jeff Goldblum are going to be incredible. Jon Chu [has] created the world that we knew on stage and has expanded it. I've heard some of the music and the orchestration is [incredible]. It's going to be such a new experience for the people that love the musical."

Bailey also assured that the movie will be recognizable for those who are familiar with the stage version.

"Everyone who was working on it is a die-hard fan...so it's been told with love.  It's going to be fresh and new, but not too new. I think people are going to really enjoy it."
