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'

That is a song performed by Elphaba, so that’s one reason why Chenoweth apparently wasn’t sure if the pop star wanted to play Glinda.

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, now she has, and she praised Grande and Cynthia Erivo, who plays Elphaba, as well as Jon M. Chu’s direction.
