Fans of Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo's live performances now have even more of a reason to look forward to Wicked.

Jon M. Chu, director of the upcoming movie musical, confirmed in a new interview with Vanity Fair that the film's two leads sang live on set.

"These are live vocals,” Chu revealed. “When we were shooting it, those girls were like, ‘F--- the pre-records. We’re going live.’"

“There’s going to be a lot of wind in your air pipes. Is that okay," Chu recalled asking the actors, to which they replied, “‘Yeah. That’s what we do.’"

Singing live for the project also came with added challenges, as Grande and Erivo — who play Glinda and Elphaba, respectively — shared in the Vanity Fair feature that Erivo had to belt out track “Defying Gravity" while on a harness, while Grande jumped on a chandelier during a number of her own at one point.

"She was just so excited to perform for her new friend,” Grande said of Glinda. “She wanted to do a trick.”

During a conversation last month on Amazon Music's Zach Sang Show, Grande described her 6-month preparation for the film adaptation of Stephen Schwartz’s hit Broadway musical. As she explained, she "never wanted something as badly as I did this."

“I had no expectations, I was just thankful to go in at all, I was so excited to have the opportunity to audition," Grande shared, adding that she had “been hunting” producer Marc Platt for nearly a decade.

“Since I was 20, I was like, ‘Hey, I don't know when this is happening, but when it's happening, may I please at least just audition?’ That's all I wanted, was an audition," grande said. "I've never wanted anything more.”

Preparation for the role included “voice lessons every day, acting lessons every day," Grande shared, adding that she ultimately "trained every single day."

“I am a person who started on Broadway and I’ve always been a musical theater person,” said Grande, who first appeared on Broadway in the musical 13. “It all happened absolutely as it was meant to be.”
