Ariana Grande is stepping into a dazzling new chapter of her career, trading pop stardom for the magical world of Wicked. As Glinda, Grande brings her lifelong love for storytelling to life, embodying a role she’s admired since childhood.
“It’s surreal to think I’m stepping into these shoes,” Grande told Variety. Inspired by Kristin Chenoweth’s original performance, Grande’s portrayal is both a tribute and a fresh take. Months of rigorous vocal training and acting lessons helped her channel Glinda’s soprano tones and emotional depth. “Musical theater is so different from pop singing,” she explained. “It challenged me to grow in ways I never imagined.”
A New Era for Glinda
The upcoming sequel, Wicked For Good, promises exciting surprises, including a brand-new song for Glinda penned by composer Stephen Schwartz. Grande hinted that this piece reveals “a side of Glinda we’ve never seen before,” making it a pivotal moment in the story.
Balancing Music and Acting
While Wicked has been Grande’s primary focus, her music career isn’t taking a backseat. She teased fans with news of a deluxe edition of her album, Eternal Sunshine. “It’s ready,” she revealed, but she’s waiting for the perfect moment to release it.
Grande also shared her hopes for future Broadway-to-film adaptations, mentioning The Drowsy Chaperone and Spamalot as dream projects. “I’ve fallen in love with storytelling in a whole new way,” she said.
The Beginning of Something Magical
As Wicked continues to garner acclaim, Grande is embracing her evolution as an artist. “This is more than I ever dreamed of,” she shared. “I want to keep growing and exploring, and this feels like just the beginning.”
From her groundbreaking pop hits to her transformative acting journey, Ariana Grande proves that her artistry knows no bounds. Fans are eagerly awaiting her next move—whether on screen or in the studio. 🌟
