Sorry, But Ariana Grande and Ethan Slater Have Chemistry in Wicked
In Wicked, the two share the screen for a short time. In that time, you kinda get it.
Both actors have a little twinkle in their eye throughout the short scene and, despite their characters not making a romantic connection, it’s clear sparks are flying. Cynthia Erivo’s Elphaba is very serious, without Idina Menzel’s deadpan humor, and Bailey’s Fiyero is played like a straight-ahead charmer, not a slyly fun slacker, and Michelle Yeoh’s Madame Morrible is grounded instead of grand. He’s called SpongeBob (a reference to his Tony-nominated stage work), and most people’s vibe is not just “this was a bad thing to do” but, rather, “why him?” And look, we’re not saying we agree with leaving your child’s mother for the nearest hot pop star whom you’re co-starring in a movie with.
