At 31,フック Ariana Grande, steps into the sparkling shoes of Glinda the Good Witch in the highly anticipated musical, ‘Wicked’. As she embodies the beloved character, Grande draws a striking parallel between Glinda’s relationship with the citizens of Oz and the profound bond she shares with her dedicated fans.
A Shared Need for Connection
“In Glinda, what resonates with me most is her want to become better and better,” Grande confides. “Her relationship with the Ozians is an interesting one for me. It feels a little bit adjacent to my relationship with my fans throughout the years. I feel like I’m walking a particular line and wanting to give them the best of me – but also, at times, my heart has needed some healing and some love and TLC. I think that is something that I’ve felt multiple times in my life.”
Grande recognizes the reciprocal nature of her connection with her fans, acknowledging the unwavering love and support they shower upon her. This dynamic mirrors Glinda’s journey, who strives to uplift and inspire those around her, finding fulfillment in their happiness and well-being.
‘Wicked’s Timeless Themes Offer a Guiding Light
Beyond the personal resonance, Grande believes ‘Wicked’ delivers crucial messages that are deeply relevant in our contemporary world.
“It’s a very timely and yet timeless theme for evil forces to be trying to ostracise certain people or group people together or cause division,” she reflects. “And I think that friendship, love and family – whether it’s by blood or chosen family – these platonic friendships, these deep loves that we’ve found in each other and our people have always been the thing that hep us survive that.”
The musical’s exploration of prejudice, acceptance, and the power of unity resonates powerfully amidst current social and political landscapes.
Cynthia Erivo Echoes the Importance of Connection
Grande’s co-star, the exceptional Cynthia Erivo, wholeheartedly concurs. “I think it couldn’t be more perfect. I think we arrived right on time. I think it’s something that we all desperately need; connection: friendship, the capacity for change, the capacity to accept others and their differences. Hopefully this will aid that and teach people things they might have not been willing to learn before,” Erivo emphasizes.
Erivo sees ‘Wicked’ as a catalyst for positive change, fostering empathy and understanding within audiences.
The Healing Power of Art
Both Grande and Erivo acknowledge the transformative power of storytelling and performance. ‘Wicked’ offers a platform for introspection, encouraging viewers to confront challenging issues while celebrating the enduring strength of human connection.
