Ariana Grande says there will be a larger conversation to be had about Glinda being queer after the release of Wicked: For Good. Wicked was released in United States theaters this past November. Directed by Jon M.

Amidst the global success of Jon M. Chu’s live-action movie rendition of Wicked, co-star Ariana Grande is opening up about the work she put in for lead role of Glinda the Good Witch.

For Good, has leaked online and it features a sneak peek at the new looks for Cynthia Erivo's Elphaba and Ariana Grande's Glinda. See them both in action here!

Grande’s new interview comes over a month after the first Wicked hit theaters Nov. 22, 2024, quickly becoming the top-grossing movie adaptation of a Broadway musical ever. Its sequel, Wicked: For Good, will arrive almost exactly a year later in the fall of 2025.

"Galinda required a lot of vocal work for me," Grande told 'Variety' of why her character's voice might have a lasting effect on her

Ariana Grande has a different idea of why Elphaba made Glinda’s pulse rush and face flush. Continuing the never-ending Wicked press cycle on the cover of Variety, Grande explained her theory that Glinda might be queer — and in love with Elphie.

Ariana Grande thinks she'd have "ended up in an insane asylum" if she hadn't done so much preparation for 'Wicked'.
