Ariana Grande gives rare update on ‘Wicked’ movie: 'happy halfway to this most beautiful crew'
Ariana Grande gave a rare update on the upcoming “Wicked” movie, and shared her gratitude for how it helped her personal growth.
The singer, who will play Glinda in the movie, posted a photo from what looks like a parking lot. Around here were trailers and above her, a big rainbow.
"Halfway," Ariana began her caption, adding she is “savoring every millisecond left with my Galinda (although she’ll be with me irrevocably, forever). She shows me so many new things every day.”
Expressing her gratitude, Ariana said everyday in Oz is life-changing. "To be feeling, learning and growing so much at such a disarming speed… to feel so much love around me, to begin each day before the sun is up and to end after it sets…to be transforming and healing parts of me that I never knew needed it. Or maybe did," she wrote before asking for forgiveness "for this most Cancerian, rambly post."
Ariana thanked co-star Cynthia Erivo, who plays Elphaba, and their director Jon M. Chu.
“[To] hold my brilliant twin flame / sister Cynthia’s beautiful, green hands every day… to work in the safest, most beautiful and loving, biggest-yet-most-intimate/tiny-feeling spaces… to be lead by [the] most thoughtful, brilliant, compassionate and warmest possible director on this planet, my other Ozian best friend ever Jon...” Ariana said.
Ariana said that words aren’t enough to say how appreciative she is and how she does not want the experience to end.
“[I] hope this isn’t all a dream because as present as [I] am attempting to be, it sure does feel like one,” she said.
Ariana added, “happy halfway to this most beautiful crew. [My] fellow Ozians. [My] heart will be stuck here forever.”
“Wicked” the movie will be released in November 2024, whereas "Wicked: Part Two" is currently scheduled for December 25, 2025.
Meanwhile, Ariana was recently featured in The Weeknd’s “Die for You” remix.
