Ariana Grande opened up about why her full last name, Grande-Butera, appears in the credits of her new movie 'Wicked'
Early screenings of the new musical, which hits theaters on November 22, have revealed that the pop star, 31, is listed in the film’s credits by her full name, Ariana Grande-Butera. During a recent interview with Australian reporter Justin Hill, Grande shared why she chose to use her “little girl name” in the film.
Chenoweth, 56, celebrated the news that Ariana had been cast in the show’s two-part film adaptation via Instagram in November 2021 by sharing a throwback photo from their first meeting. “I’m not sure if I’ve ever been this proud. From the very first day I met you , you were destined for this role,” she captioned the sweet snap. “Congratulations @arianagrande! The best Glinda you will be with @cynthiaerivo by your side 💗💚 I love you!! 🧚♀️👑🪄.
Ariana called auditioning for the role of Glinda a “challenge” while appearing on the Friday, November 1, episode of the “Sentimental Man” podcast. “It has to be earned. Anything on this scale, being a part of anything, it’s not just given because they know for one thing,” she shared. “So, it’s fun to kind of have the challenge of reframing people’s perception and doing the work to earn your way back into the other spaces.
