\t\t\t\t\tHere\u2019s Why Ariana Grande Used Her Full Name in the \u2018Wicked\u2019 Credits\t\t<\/p>\n<\/h3><\/div>\n

\t\t<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n

\n\tWhen the two costars \u2014 who play Elphaba and Glinda in Jon M. Chu\u2019s upcoming film adaptations of the Broadway musical, which was based on Gregory Maguire\u2019s novel of the same name \u2014 were asked by The New York Times<\/a> <\/em>to share their initial reactions to each other\u2019s casting in the project, Erivo was frank.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cAbsolutely no surprise whatsoever,\u201d the Harriet <\/em>star recalled of learning Grande had nabbed the part of Glinda in the joint interview published Wednesday (Nov. 6). \u201cThank goodness, because it was not the two ladies that I was auditioning with.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tIn reaction to Erivo\u2019s subtle shade, the \u201cWe Can\u2019t Be Friends\u201d musician replied, \u201cOh my God!\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tGrande also shared her reaction to the \u201cI Might Be in Love With You\u201d artist landing Elphaba in the films, the first of which arrives Nov. 22. \u201cI said, \u2018Thank God,’\u201d she revealed.<\/p>\n

\n\tNews that Erivo and the two-time Grammy winner had been cast in Wicked <\/em>arrived in November 2021. At the time, the duo sent each other congratulatory flowers, with the Pinocchio <\/em>star writing in a note to Grande, \u201cCongratulations Miss A, The Part Was Made For You, I Look Forward To Sharing This Musical Journey With You.\u201d<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\tCynthia Erivo Explains Reaction to Fan Edits of \u2018Wicked\u2019 Poster: \u2018A Human Moment of Wanting to\u2026\t\t<\/p>\n<\/h3><\/div>\n

\n\tThe leading ladies went on to work on the duology for two years in London alongside cast members Michelle Yeoh, Jonathan Bailey, Jeff Goldblum, Ethan Slater, Bowen Yang and Marissa Bode. A year after Wicked <\/em>part one arrives at the end of the month, the second installment will hit theaters in November 2025.<\/p>\n

\n\tGrande has previously been open about the intensive audition process for Wicked<\/em>, for which she recently said she had to \u201cerase\u201d her public persona in a recent interview on the Sentimental Men<\/em>\u00a0podcast<\/a>. \u201cPeople sometimes say to me, \u2018You had to audition?\u2019 Of course, are you out of your gourd?\u201d she continued on the Nov. 1 episode. \u201cIt\u2019s Wicked<\/em>! And it requires a totally different skill set than people know me for and have ever seen me do anything like.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tWhile speaking to NYT<\/em>, Grande echoed those remarks. \u201cSome members of my team at the time were like, \u2018You shouldn\u2019t even have to audition,\u2019 and I was like, \u2018You don\u2019t understand, of course I have to. This is something that has to be earned,’\u201d she told the paper. \u201cI have so much to prove, and I threw myself at it in every way that I could.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
