[Elphaba] closes the door and and it's this sort of like smile for her and keep it and be strong and it's going to be okay. She shuts the door and the breakdown, the both we have. Neither one of us knew that was happening on the other side of the door. We can't see each other. That's a door that is closed on her. And we're blind. I didn't know that she did that. I didn't. We both did it at the same time. And [Jon M. Chu] just basically caught so that he could film it for real. He had a camera shooting in in profile for us. So he shoots this, he shoot that, and then when we shot the door closing, he shot it in profile. So he could see both of us, but we couldn't see each other. — Cynthia Erivo via The Official Wicked Podcast
