Original cast members make cameos in Wicked film adaptation

The film adaptation of "Wicked" features cameos from original cast members Idina Menzel and Kristin Chenoweth. They appear in the "One Short Day" sequence, performing in a new musical number that expands on the original Broadway show. Menzel and Chenoweth reprise their roles as Elphaba and Glinda, interacting in a familiar dynamic. The sequence includes nods to the original musical, such as Menzel's battle cry and a playful moment between Chenoweth and Ariana Grande. Additional cameos include Winnie Holzman, the musical's book writer, and composer Stephen Schwartz, who plays a palace guard. Schwartz has also written new songs for the upcoming "Wicked: Part Two."
