Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo are reaching the end of the yellow brick road. The Wicked costars-who play Glinda and Elphaba, respectively, in the film-stepped out for the premiere of the musical’s sequel, Wicked: For Good, in New York City on Nov. 17. And while walking the red carpet for the event, the duo got candid about the “overwhelming gratitude” they feel over wrapping up the Wicked story. “It’s been such an incredible ride and an incredible experience to create with people we love so much and respect so much creatively, but also who just have such great hearts,” Ariana exclusively told E! News’ Justin Sylvester, adding that she’s also excited for fans to “finally be able to get the full story” and the “full arc of these women that we love so much and have spent these years with. It’s almost five years that we’ve spent with them,” she continued. “So, for them to finally be getting the full picture and to know the secrets we’ve known all along is very exciting.” But Ariana noted that she and Cynthia-who opted not to speak during the joint interview due to being on vocal rest-still have lots to look forward to, including a Grammys 2026 nomination for their Wicked soundtrack collaboration “Defying Gravity. It’s so incredible,” Ariana gushed. “It’s such an honor to have it be recognized, especially even a year after the first film, and we’re just so honored to have that moment together to be acknowledged.”.
