Ariana Grande finds filming the 'Wicked' movie a life-changing experience.
The experience was incredibly extraordinary, transformative, and beautiful for Grande. It has heightened her love for the project even more than before, having loved it since she was just ten years old. Grande is portraying the character Glinda in the highly-anticipated film alongside Cynthia Erivo's Elphaba.
Both actresses have joined an impressive line of performers who've taken on these roles in the past, including Idina Menzel, Michelle Williams, and Kristin Chenoweth. Grande mentioned that working with Erivo and getting to know her on a personal level has impacted her life in a profound way.
The experience for Grande was joyous and extremely unique. She didn't wants to spoil anything but promised that viewers would "see a little something very soon." A sneak peek was released in February during the Super Bowl.
Grande wore a light pink gown created by designer Jonathan Anderson to the event. The dress was made of mother-of-pearl, and the opalescent hues of pink and green matched the colors signifying "Wicked."
"Wicked" is a two-part movie based on the stage musical of the same name, which is a prequel to the "The Wizard of Oz." The plot tells an alternate story of Glinda and Elphaba before Dorothy arrives, showing how Elphaba turns into the Wicked Witch of the West as she experiences being framed by the Wizard.
Some of the other stars in the movie include Jeff Goldblum, Michelle Yeoh, Jonathan Bailey, and Bowen Yang.
"Wicked: Part 1" is set to release in theaters on November 27th. "Wicked: Part 2" will arrive in theaters in late 2025.
