The internet just loves an unexpected and random crossover. Amelia Dimoldenberg, the queen of quirky interviews, teamed up with Cynthia Erivo, an Oscar-nominated actress, in a video where they both sing. The original Wicked x Target ad featured high-pitched singing by store crew members and other customers as Cynthia Erivo enters the store wearing green high heels.

With its unique Broadway-meets-marketing energy, the ad was an absolute entertainer in itself. Living in the modern pop-cultural digital era, the ad spread quickly to many people, making it quite popular. Later, Amelia Dimoldenberg saw an opportunity she couldn't resist and decided to make the most of it.

If you're unaware of Amelia, we've got you covered. She's an English comedienne and presenter who also hosts a show called "Chicken Shop Date."

"Chicken Shop Date" is literally what the title says. In this show, Amelia interviews popular celebrities by taking them to a fried chicken restaurant. The idea is to create fun and light-hearted entertainment.
