While Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo have been coordinating their fashion, unfortunately they had similar experiences with getting sick on set. Because Erivo also got sick before her biggest number, "Defying Gravity." As she shared:

As Wicked makes the long-awaited leap from the stage to the screen, Ariana Grande is contemplating a return to her roots. The 2x Grammy winner recently opened up about the “healing” experience of portraying Galinda Upland in director Jon M.

Cynthia Erivo shaded the actresses who auditioned for the role of Glinda in the “Wicked” movie, expressing her gratitude that Ariana Grande ultimately landed the part. In a new interview with The New York Times, Erivo, 37, and Grande, 31, spoke about the casting process.

Everyone is bubbling with excitement as we get closer to the release of the first Wicked movie — a.k.a. the day we can finally see Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo step into the shoes of Glinda and Elphaba.

Ariana Grande stars in the film adaptation of Wicked as Glinda the Good Witch. When audiences see the movie in theaters, they will notice that the “We Can’t Be Friends” singer uses her full name, Ariana Grande-Butera, in the film’s credits. In a new interview, Grande shares why she changed her name for the film.

Though known professionally as Ariana Grande, the singer surprised audiences at early screenings of “Wicked” by using her full name in the credits. In a recent interview with Australian reporter Justin Hill, Grande explained that using her “little girl name” felt like a way to honor her deep connection to the musical.
