Jonathan Bailey Is Unrecognizable as the Scarecrow in New Photo with Cynthia Erivo
November 24, 2025 - Fans were treated to a snapshot of a sweet hug between Erivo and Jonathan Bailey, with both stars in full costume. The look on Erivo's face reveals that she's going through almost too many emotions to process. While Erivo (as Elphaba) looks immediately recognizable, the same cannot be said about Bailey — he looks so different as the Scarecrow!

r/wicked on Reddit: Jonathan Bailey opens up about changing his appearance for Wicked
December 2, 2024 - “And Fiyero, of course, he had a love sequence to do with Elphaba whilst he was a scarecrow. So we did a pass at it where um and the wig worked perfectly well because it was the transition and we, you know, sewed in half the field into a basic wig that was of the color of his original blondes and that just worked really well on Jonathan, but the um our, our burlap face, our sacking, you know, that was his head.

r/jonathanbailey on Reddit: Wicked Fiyero Scarecrow confusion
November 26, 2025 -

I am now questioning some photos of Scarecrow Fiyero as to which is Jonny and which is his stand ins/doubles as they are sometimes tricky to work out if the photos are Jonny or not and they are not tagged but, I believe this is Jonny though mainly because of that smile but then again I am not sure but Bethany Weaver (Dorothy's actor) posted this on her Instagram and she mentions working with Jonny, Ethan Slater and Omari Bernard (he is the guy on the end, next to Ethan, he does the Lion's movements in the movie) and as I have stated, the Tin Man in the photo is certainly Ethan Slater, you can tell by his eyes, so I do think the other is Jonny but do you agree or do you think it is one of his doubles/stand ins?

r/wickedmovie on Reddit: Spoiler Question About JB for Those Who’ve Seen Part 2
October 17, 2025 -

From interviews with Jonny Bailey, we know that he took time to prepare physically for part 2, taking inspiration from Ray Bolger’s scarecrow in the Wizard of Oz, so are we thinking all the scenes where we see Scarecrow without a face are Jonny Bailey?

I found it so interesting seeing him walk and move even from a distance, like through the crowd in MotWH, and felt like you could really sense the similarities between both Scarecrow portrayals, but for some reason I was wondering if they actually had Jonny doing all those things or got a double in.
