Ariana Grande & Kristin Chenoweth Agree ‘Wicked’s Glinda “Might Be A Little” Queer

As Wicked takes the box office by storm, Ariana Grande and Kristin Chenoweth are reminding audiences who was the original "friend of Dorothy."

While discussing her portrayal of Glinda in the Jon M. Chu-helmed feature adaptation of the Broadway musical, Grande responded to fans who think the Good Witch is queer-coded, as well as those who “ship” her and Elphaba ( Cynthia Erivo). While Erivo is openly bisexual, and Grande has long been an outspoken LGBTQ ally, the latter has received some online flack accusing her of queerbaiting. Wicked follows Elphaba and Glinda as they first meet at Shiz University and share a life-changing encounter with the Wizard of Oz (Jeff Goldblum).
