American singer-songwriter and actor Ariana Grande said his first day on the set of “Wicked,” with co-star Cynthia Erivo and director Jon M Chu, “was the most emotional day of his life,” Variety reported.
While sliding down the Met Gala red carpet, Ariana Grande, dressed in a custom Loewe ball gown, talked about her first day on the set of “Wicked.”
“My first day on the set of ‘Wicked’ was the most emotional day of my life,” Grande recalled. “All I remember was holding hands with Cynthia (Erivo) and Jon (Chu) and crying. And (Jon) saying, ‘Welcome to ‘Wicked.'”
“Wicked” is a film adaptation of Winnie Holzman’s 2003 Tony Award-winning musical, starring Erivo and Grande as Elphaba and Glinda, respectively. The film tells the narrative of a strange relationship between the future Wicked Witch of the West and the Good Witch of the South, and how their lives change once they meet the great and powerful Wizard of Oz.
Grande explained that the natural chemistry between her and Erivo came from a strong connection they had during filming.
“She is truly my sister. We found things in each other that we needed,” Grande explained. “I can’t wait for everyone to see it.”
Erivo quickly joined Grande on the carpet, and when asked which moment they were most excited for fans to see, the couple said, “All of them.”
Grande praised Erivo’s performance in “Wicked”, stating that she will “never forget a minute of filming with her.”
“She humanizes [Elphaba] “In such an extraordinary way and it brings it to life,” Grande added. “His eyes, his hands, are from another world.”
Erivo returned the shoutout to Grande, saying her “Wicked” co-star “constantly wears her heart on her sleeve.”
“She’s so open and generous with her acting that it’s very easy to be in a scene with her,” Erivo continued. “You look into her eyes and you know she’s telling the truth.” The first part of Chu’s “Wicked” hits theaters Nov. 27, Variety reported.
