Ariana Grande’s Glinda Preparation
Ariana Grande spoke about how loss is something that many people experience. She shared how she has faced tragedies in her own life, like surviving the 2017 Manchester bombing and the death of her ex-boyfriend, Mac Miller, a year later. These experiences gave her a unique emotional understanding of her role in Wicked, allowing her to portray Glinda with more depth and empathy.
The role of Glinda has been a dream for Ariana ever since she first saw the Broadway musical as a child. She described her time on set as a “homecoming experience,” saying that working on the project felt like a return to something that had always been a part of her life. The music of Wicked, in particular, brought her a sense of comfort and joy, and she felt honored to be trusted with it.
Ariana Grande will share the screen with a talented cast, including Cynthia Erivo, who plays Elphaba, the Wicked Witch of the West. The two actresses have developed a strong bond, with Ariana mentioning that they immediately clicked and spent hours together getting to know one another. She recalled, “We had a real conversation right off the bat about creating a safe space for each other and being honest with each other.”
The movie Wicked tells the story of the friendship between Glinda and Elphaba. However, their friendship faces challenges when the Wizard of Oz enters the picture. Wicked is set to release in theaters on November 22, 2024, and fans are excited to see Ariana and Cynthia bring these iconic roles to life on the big screen.
As Ariana prepares to take on this role, her passion for the project and her personal connection to it shine through. Fans are eagerly awaiting the movie’s release to see her portrayal of the beloved character, Glinda.
