I love how it starts off a little awkward but they get so comfortable because they are both nerdy theatre loving people. Absolutely brilliant pairing! Edit: it’s awkward in a coltish, nerdy sense.. not in an uncomfortable way. You can feel the excitement and the nerves at the same time. It’s adorable!

Ariana's voice is so sweet but when it comes to singing, it's like I'm in heaven, and Cynthia is a legend and I'm someone who isn't a fan of musicals but i watched Wicked with my friend yesterday and i stepped out of the theatre speechless and in awe. Props to the whole cast and crew and director for making this masterpiece! Can't wait for Part 2!

Why do ppl keep saying this? Meg is not a soprano and has a deep voice, is tall and sassy. Ariana is amazing and so talented but unfortunately her being “perfect” as Meg is a bit of leap… if anything Liz Gillies would be great

@@Ms02112 i used to always tell people that i would love liz gillies as megara any day. it’s just after seeing wicked, i think people including myself feel they can see ari deliver well for meg. and especially seeing these two together how can you not!! just an opinion ♡
@americaelsbeth12 күн бұрын
@@etherealestskyIn my opinion although Ariana is immensely talented and versatile both as a singer AND actress, Liz would still be a much better fit, appearance wise, vocally and personality/essence wise. I know that last one might sound like it defeats the purpose of acting, but a lot of times actors’ natural personalities can really enhance a role and bring a unique quality that might not be the case if someone else is cast. Think of like Helena Bonham Carter, she’s best at quirky over the top roles because she’s naturally the quirky hippie type. Or Tom Hiddleston, who’s best at reserved yet charming, romantic and/or gothic roles. In real life he’s sort of an introvert, intellectual type very into poetry and a gentleman. In his case, he initially auditioned to play Thor in the MCU, but irl he’s virtually the opposite from the character and ironically extremely similar to Loki, it’s like he was born to play him. And so I feel like Liz playing Meg would be a similar situation, not to mention she’s very underrated compared to Ariana and it would def be awesome for her to get a big opportunity like this

as somebody in the set side of theatre and film it fills me with so much joy and pride to hear actors gushing about good production design and costumes and set!! these things make up such a huge part of these productions and are so often overlooked! whoever chose to pair these two together did such an amazing job as they both seem to be so passionate about the whole production of the performing arts, and it fills me with so much joy to see 'celebrities' being so nerdy about the artisty of these industries!!

I think a lot of people assume that Ariana landing Glinda’s role was extremely easy because of her name and current legacy, but it’s clear that her fame only added more hardship and work to the gaining the role; I mean yeah she has connections, high agencies, etc., but the pressure of being *the* Ariana Grande meant being near perfect in order to land the role
