Lily with her Wicked: For Good script featuring lyrics to the song she performed with Arianna Grande<\/p>\n
An 11-year-old who worked on the Wicked: For Good film has described filming with Ariana Grande as “so exciting”.<\/p>\n
Lily, who lives on the border between Cambridgeshire and Norfolk, worked on the film at Elstree Studios in Hertfordshire in 2023. <\/p>\n
She performed the song Every Day More Wicked with Grande and other stars, and appears in the film’s trailer.<\/p>\n
Wicked: For Good was released in November 2025 and has earned $226m<\/a> (\u00a3178m)<\/a> worldwide<\/a>.<\/p>\n Lily shared a scene with Grande that featured in the film’s trailer<\/p>\n Acting aspirations<\/p>\n Lily’s acting career is supported by her father Malcolm, who is also an actor.<\/p>\n While Lily’s scene did not make it to the cinema cut – despite it being used in the trailer – she hopes that it will feature in the extended edition. <\/p>\n Malcolm said: “Half the scenes in the first film that were cut ended up in the extended cut or in the second film, so I’m hopeful it will be used.”<\/p>\n Lily has not let that stop her. She has just finished performing in two pantomimes, has a role in the horror film Pinocchio Unleashed and is providing the voice for a character in the computer game The Fractured Vale.<\/p>\n Malcolm said he is not a pushy parent and Lily always has the final say on whether she takes an acting job. <\/p>\n “I think I’m going to stay with acting when I grow up because I find it really fun,” she said. <\/p>\n Lily spent a day filming with Grande at Elstree Studios in Hertfordshire<\/p>\n Malcolm added: “You could go through your whole life and not get an opportunity like the one Lily got.<\/p>\n “It was absolutely amazing when we got the news through saying that she’d been cast as one of the Girls Brigade.<\/p>\n “It was absolutely unreal. I thought: ‘She’s going to be on a film set with really massive film stars’.” <\/p>\n Lily said she was able to speak to Grande, who she described as “really nice”.<\/p>\n Grande at the premiere of Wicked: For Good in New York City<\/p>\n Lily said a highlight of the filming process was being fitted for her costume and having her hair and make-up done, but she did not enjoy the early starts.<\/p>\n “We had to get up at 04:00 (GMT), which was terrible. I can’t even get up at 06:00 in the morning!”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Clare Worden \/ BBC Lily with her Wicked: For Good script featuring lyrics to the song she performed…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":329863,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[96,128,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-329862","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-music","8":"tag-entertainment","9":"tag-music","10":"tag-uk","11":"tag-united-kingdom","12":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/329862","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=329862"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/329862\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/329863"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=329862"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=329862"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=329862"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"Universal](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/9bb9b670-dceb-11f0-b67b-690eb873de1b.jpg.webp.webp\")
