Not long after “Wednesday” arrived on Netflix, fans flocked to social media to express their adoration for Jenna Ortega’s cello performances on the show. “First Ep of #wednesdaynetflix was really good, only issue is that I was [hoping] I could hear Jenna play the cello more,” wrote @ClownLockProd on Twitter, with @vixenwaves commenting, “i get chills whenever i see and listen to wednesday playing the cello scenes,” in a post of their own.
@NitaTarr took to social media to ask the real questions, writing, “Jenna Ortega’s cello in #Wednesday absolutely knocked my socks off. Does anyone know where to find her almost solo cello performance she plays in episode 1?” Meanwhile, @ellodie_ just loved the symbolism behind one of Wednesday’s cello performances: “Wednesday playing cello while the statue is burning down is poetic cinema.” @remioluwole can’t help but appreciate the “Wednesday” soundtrack as a whole.
As if her performances on the show weren’t impressive enough, it turns out that Jenna Ortega had no cello experience going into it. In an interview with Wired, Ortega revealed that she learned to play the cello specifically for “Wednesday.” While she’s been away from it since filming wrapped up, it’s clearly something she has a great appreciation for in hindsight. “I have immense respect for anybody who plays the cello. I think it’s such a delightful instrument,” she said.
The eight-episode “Wednesday” is currently streaming exclusively on Netflix.
