Ariana Grande & Cynthia Erivo Appear in New ‘Wicked’ Featurette Video

The new featurette describes ‘Wicked’ as a story of friendship.

With this narrative in mind, the two stars, who will appear alongside Jonathan Bailey, Bowen Yang, Michelle Yeoh, Jeff Goldblum, Ariana’s boyfriend Ethan Slater, and more, have been able to grow their friendship both on and off screen. During the trailer for the upcoming film, the 31-year-old singer reflected on her role as Glinda and her relationship with her roommate, Elphaba, saying, “These two very different women just fall completely in love with each other…and that mirrored the experience of what happened with Cynthia and me.” As Ariana and Cynthia take on the roles of students attending Shiz University in the Land of Oz, these dream portrayals have been long-awaited — especially for the “Problem” singer, who previously expressed that Wicked is one of her favorite stories.
