Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo opened up about all things Wicked in a new interview with Variety.
During the conversation, Ariana shed light on her belief that Glinda is possibly queer in the musical movie.
It’s a concept that both the author of the source material and the film’s scriptwriter have addressed in recent weeks. According to Ariana, we’ll learn even more in the upcoming sequel Wicked: For Good.
The pop star also addressed changes to her voice to bring the bubbly character to life. She weighed in on if the adjustments were something that would stay with her long term. Cynthia also discussed making the iconic song “Defying Gravity” her own.
