Kristin Chenoweth Tears Up About Ariana Grande Being Cast in 'Wicked' Movie | SiriusXM
• Kristin Chenoweth Tear...

[@xCindyLouWhox]

Ari manifested this role…meeting Kristin backstage at Wicked as a child…performing “The Wizard and I” at 13…collaborating with MIKA on “Popular Song” which samples Wicked in 2012…working with Kristin on Hairspray Live! in 2016…performing “The Wizard and I” 4 years ago at the Wicked 15th Anniversary…releasing “A Hand for Mrs. Claus” with Idina in 2019…having Kristin as her guest coach on “The Voice”…to now being cast as Glinda. ☺️✨🎀 She has been working her whole life towards this and I am so happy for her. It’s nice to see people reach their dreams.

[@johnsmi213]

I never realized she worked with Kristin on "Hairspray Live." I just thought about how Dove Cameron was in that show and how Kristin was trying to suggest her for the role. Never realized Dove and Ariana worked together.

[@IHARumor]

Kristen Chenoweth definitely needs to be in the movie. If not in a bigger role (I would love her as Miss Morrible) then a small cameo as Glinda’s mother or whatever.

[@maciegoodspeed9670]

Omg like when Glinda’s being dropped off have her parents be there this time?!??? adorable. She’d be precious as Glindas mom

[@ogglitterqueen]

agreed

[@chandhand6539]

that would make sob like a child... Kristin and Ari have years of relationship they are literal mother daughters...

[@ryanstauffer119]

I do hope that Kristin and Idina do both make a cameo together as random characters in the Emerald City

[@whatdoyousuppose]

“the love story was the two girls” OH CANON GELPHIE?! 💅💖💚 “meaning friendship” oh 😞

[@meganomahoney5450]

I’m playing Glinda in wicked concert at my new house in august

[@denver_is_the_devil]

i love the relationship between kristen chenoweth and her musical kids: ariana grande and dove cameron ❤️

[@cannotthinkofausername6379]

"I had some babies that were considered" Lol that's deffo Dove Cameron 😂

[@Tarikkb]

Definitely , she would also be PERFECT as glinda , almost every character she has played is similar to glinda

[@cannotthinkofausername6379]

@@Tarikkb Dove can play her on stage

[@Tarikkb]

@@cannotthinkofausername6379 she definitely can , but I personally would’ve loved to see this being her “ big break “

[@cannotthinkofausername6379]

@@Tarikkb It's just not how Hollywood works, she's too TV, but she is undeniably talented

[@Tarikkb]

@@cannotthinkofausername6379 I have a feeling that if ariana wasn’t up for the role dove could’ve gotten it , yea she’s too tv but with her stage experience + Disney fanbase + having an upcoming fanbase + being really close with Kristin chenoweth, this could’ve been her big break and big transition , a turning point in her career , but I’m still excited to see ariana

[@HazelOct]

Little Ariana Grande's dream came true!! Cynthia Erivo will be stunning as Elphaba!!

[@shinrin-yoku3877]

I'm so dumb! I didn't realize Wicked was gonna be made a movie much less they had it cast already! 🙃

[@JDTheLegend]

You heard it here first folks, better hold on to that weave 😌

[@FunInTheSun8]

I didn't see her get emotional...wth

[@tibb75]

You can see her doing the "I'm looking up and pausing to hold back my tears" a few times talking about Ariana at the beginning. She's not super emotional, but you can tell it got to her talking about their history

[@cloudsj9880]

They’re talking about the time she got emotional with Ariana, not at this interview

[@britneytian3768]

Cynthia looks too old to play a college age girl.

[@viniciusbarbalhovarela3626]

I am sorry, but casting Ariana as Glinda is only a strategic thing if the movie doesn’t get as famous as the musical.

[@lightquest2]

she still earned it and went through the audition process like everyone else. Wicked name alone was going to garner traffic whether she was cast or not, especially since people have been waiting a decade for this movie

[@dakotarae159]

she will ruin glinda forever

[@piupaupompompom]

@@dakotarae159 yeah i feel like that too

[@shawnswag5145]

Not true, it’s a film and Ariana is taking a break from music so this could work. If this was a live show then I’d understand but now, literally she’ll film the 2 movies, do the press and move on

[@redacted-oo7ne]

@@piupaupompompom no you just don’t like ariana
