"To flood the zone with 'Wicked,' Comcast has given the movie its so-called 'Symphony' treatment, an internal elevation that promotes it across every feasible channel of the empire.   That includes the upcoming Thanksgiving Day Parade that NBC broadcasts, and explains the frequent reminders during NBC’s broadcast of the Summer Olympics of gymnast Simone Biles’s ability to 'defy gravity.' An NBC Sports package on Biles, narrated by Erivo and Grande, drew a parallel between Elphaba’s ascent atop a broom to the gymnast’s comeback after an aborted performance at the 2020 Olympics.   'Flying is not for the faint of heart,' Erivo says, and the clip ends with her 'Defying Gravity' riff from the film played over an image of Biles and the women’s team staring into the camera with their arms crossed.   The Universal theme parks have erected 'Wicked' stores that will stay open through the release of part two next year. Grande recently hosted 'Saturday Night Live,' while NBC is broadcasting a behind-the-scenes special. The 'Today' Show is celebrating 'Wicked Week' with cast interviews and, on Wednesday, a look at the movie’s costumes hosted by Hoda Kotb (in pink) and Bush Hager (in green, and wearing a witch’s hat)."
