Ariana Grande says 'Wicked' was a gift — and she's proud to be in a 'beautiful coven' toggle caption Katia Tempkin Wicked star Ariana Grande grew up in a musical family and can't remember a time in her life when she wasn't singing. Sponsor Message Interview highlights On her friendship and working relationship with Wicked co-star Cynthia Erivo It's something that was important to us from the very beginning, was to build something real and to know that we could have a safe space in each other for this journey because it was going to be tremendous. I know it's high notes, and I know that maybe some people who don't know her well enough would think that I'm the perfect fit. This role is a massive undertaking, and I have to kind of be able to earn this and have every tool in my box available to me, to use, so that every piece of her that is emotional, that is dramatized, that is insecure, that is why Glinda is the way she is, so reliant upon external validation and the popularity and how important that is to her — that's a real person under there with a real beating heart and where she goes from Part 1, her arc in Act 2 and what she experiences and you know, it requires a lot this role.
