Wicked’s Ariana Grande Shared The Emotional Story Behind Telling Kristin Chenoweth That She Wanted To Audition For Glinda: ‘It Was The Sweetest Thing In The World’



Kristin Chenoweth originated the role of Glinda in Wicked on Broadway, and Ariana Grande will make history as the character as she plays her in the film adaptation of the beloved musical. However, that’s not the only thing that bonds these two women. They’re actually quite close, and while discussing her audition process for the film on the 2024 movie schedule, Grande shared the emotional story behind telling Chenoweth that she wanted to audition for Glinda.

In the lead-up to Wicked’s release, Ariana Grande has made it very clear that she is a massive fan of the original musical and she wanted to do it justice. While on the Sentimental Men Podcast, she spoke about that too, noting how much work she put into her audition and training for the role. She also opened up about telling the OG Glinda that she wanted to play her, explaining:

So we had talked about it for years and years and years. Me finally confessing to her that I wanted to go in for Glinda was like a whole different thing. And I finally confessed to her — because, I sang ‘Wizard And I’ on the anniversary special, so I think she assumed, like, ‘Oh, okay, yeah, let’s do that. Let’s totally do that.’ But I finally confessed to her, I said, ‘Hey, I think they’re doing this now, and I think that I want to go for Glinda.’ And she went into the bathroom, and closed the door, and started crying.
