When Ariana Grande Attended Wicked’s ‘Brilliant’ Broadway Show For Movie Prep; Said She Was ‘Floating’

by

As a lifestyle expert with a keen eye for Hollywood and Broadway, I must say that Ariana Grande‘s journey to Wicked is nothing short of inspiring. Her dedication to her craft, evident by her visit to Broadway in 2022, showcases her unwavering commitment to her dreams. It’s not every day you see a pop sensation weeping over a musical performance!

Ariana Grande’s nomination for a Golden Globe, playing Glinda the Good Witch in Wicked, was truly an impressive accomplishment that she rightfully earned. The evidence is clear – not only did Grande visualize this role when she was just 10 years old after watching the first Broadway adaptation of Gregory Maguire’s books, but she also demonstrated her determination by putting in the effort to make her dream come true.

In the year 2022, Grande once more stepped onto Broadway to immerse herself in the enchanting world of the Wicked musical, prior to her role in the film adaptation based on the legendary stage production.

Apart from securing that significant role in February 2022, which allowed her to travel to the theater district, she additionally took time to acknowledge Brittney Johnson as Glinda and Lindsay Heather Pearce as Elphaba on her Instagram Story.

She expressed that your brilliance was beyond words, a true privilege to observe, interact with, and listen to you both. She’s still emotional about the experience! The entire event left her speechless. She feels incredibly grateful for having been part of it last night. Overwhelmed.

In a calmer manner than many might, Heather Pearce responded to the pop star’s post about her upcoming story, sharing it on her own Instagram with the comment, “A real Glinda,” alluding to Grande’s then-impending role.

In the film version of Wicked, Cynthia Erivo plays Elphaba, similar to Ariana Grande, as they both received a nod for a Golden Globe Award.

In the span of just under two weeks after its theater release on November 22, the movie “Wicked: Part One,” directed by Jon M. Chu, has been doing exceptionally well and even surpassed “Grease” as the top-grossing film adapted from a Broadway musical at the US box office. As per Deadline’s reports, it has garnered an impressive $214.3M domestically.

Get ready to embark on a magical journey as I, a lifestyle expert, excitedly anticipate the upcoming release of “Wicked: For Good,” the highly-anticipated sequel to the beloved 2003 Tony Award-winning Broadway musical. Joining me in this enchanting adventure will be a star-studded cast including Jonathan Bailey, Jeff Goldblum, Michelle Yeoh, Ethan Slater, Peter Dinklage, and more. As we move towards the 2025 awards season, this film is set to captivate audiences worldwide when it hits theaters on November 21, 2025. So, mark your calendars and get ready for an unforgettable experience filled with magic, music, and memorable characters!
