As the flashes popped and cameras rolled, Ariana shared with Variety's Marc Malkin a moment that tugged at the corazones of all who listened. “Mi primer día en el set de ‘Wicked' fue el día más emotivo de mi vida,” Ariana recalled, her voice a mix of nostalgia and excitement. There she was, mano a mano with her co-stars Cynthia Erivo and Jon Chu, shedding lágrimas of joy. And que creen? Jon himself welcomed her with open arms saying, “Welcome to ‘Wicked.'”
But ahí no termina, mi gente! “Wicked,” directed by the talented Chu, spins the tale of two unlikely amigas: Elphaba and Glinda.

The connection between Ariana, playing the bubbly Glinda, and Cynthia, stepping into the shoes of Elphaba, was not just acting. Oh, no! It blossomed into a heartfelt amistad. “She is really truly my sister,” Ariana beamed. The bond they formed off-screen, she said, brought out the magic on-screen.
Joining the convo, Cynthia and Ariana couldn't help but gush about their experiences, echoing each other's sentiments enthusiastically, “All of them!” when asked about which scenes they were most excited for the audience to witness.
Ariana, con todo el amor del mundo, praised Cynthia's portrayal of Elphaba, describing it as “otherworldly.” Those ojos, those manos—Cynthia brought Elphaba to life in a way no one else could. And the admiration didn't stop there. Cynthia reflected right back, highlighting how Ariana's open heart enriched her performance, making every scene with her a breeze. “You look at her eyes and you know she está diciendo la verdad,” Cynthia shared.
As we count down the days to Nov. 27, when the first part of Chu's “Wicked” premieres, the anticipation is nothing short of eléctrico. Both stars promise an unforgettable journey into the land of Oz, one that redefines the boundaries of friendship, courage, and true magia.
