Ariana Grande Reviewed Her ‘Wicked’ Contract With Cynthia Erivo to Ensure Their Needs Were ‘Aligned’ Before Filming: ‘I Want Us to Have Each Other’s Backs’
Ariana Grande said when she received her contract for 'Wicked,' she called up Cynthia Erivo to go through it 'beat by beat.'
Grande went on to explain just how “granular” her connection with Erivo was even before production began, adding that “any press tour” or “short little TikTok” could not accurately capture the breadth of their friendship. After opening Nov. 22, the highly anticipated Broadway to big screen adaptation has amassed a staggering $472,042,574 worldwide gross, the ninth highest of 2024. The “Wizard of Oz” prequel follows Erivo’s Elphaba (The Wicked Witch of the West) and Grande’s Glinda (The Good), who were close friends and schoolmates before the arrival of Dorothy and Toto.
