The musical Wicked is known for its story about a strong female friendship, but according to original star Kristin Chenoweth, it almost didn’t end up that way.
While the musical adaptation opted to focus on the two women’s friendship, the novel centers more on political turmoil in the fictional land of Oz and Elphaba’s relationship with Fiyero, a former classmate and prince. Fiyero is also featured in the musical as a love interest for both Elphaba and Glinda, which causes some tension in their friendship.
Having known Grande, 30, since the pop star was 10 years old, Chenoweth shared with Us that she encouraged Grande to do her own spin on the character for the films. “, ‘Do you. Do your Glinda. I did mine. Now it’s your turn,’” she shared. “And I hope that gave her the freedom.”
