As the Wicked release date draws closer, we can’t wait to see the story of how Glinda the Good Witch and Elphaba, the Wicked Witch of the West, became who they are. Despite the storyline behind one of the most highly-anticipated 2024 movies being about a rivalry between two women, Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo, who play Glinda and Elphaba respectively, were committed to not let that bleed into their relationship on set. This was especially relevant because the original actors behind their roles reportedly dealt with tensions backstage on the Broadway production.
