'American Idol' Producers Take Over: Go Behind the Scenes 1 Week Before the Finale

It’s hard to believe, but in one week, American Idol’s lights will be dimmed forever. Ahead of the two-night series finale, we’ve handed over our Instagram account to co-executive producers Megan Wolflick and Charles Boyd for a backstage look at one of the final Idol shows ever.

Wolflick shared a behind-the-scenes selfie with longtime Idol musical director Rickey Minor, while Boyd tickled the ivories with vocal coach Michael Orland and got a quick buzz from Idol’s resident barber Dean Banowetz.

The Idol producers also took us backstage with Ryan Seacrest, and shared snaps of Top 4 finalists La’Porsha Renae and Dalton Rapattoni, and Mackenzie Bourg and Trent Harmon, who wore matching cat sweaters. (Who wore it better? Um, we’ll flip a coin!)

The duo also got nostalgic with a throwback shot to Idol Season 2. And speaking of dimming the lights and Idol nostalgia, here’s Kieran! Click through to see all of Boyd and Wolflick’s American Idol Instagram pics.

The American Idol finale kicks off Wednesday, April 6 at 8 p.m. on Fox.
