Ariana Grande, Cynthia Erivo, & Jon M. Chu Cover ‘Variety’

Ariana Grande is on the cover of Variety! The star is joined on the cover by her Wicked costar, Cynthia Erivo and the film’s director, Jon M. Chu.

In the interview, Grande talked how her voice has changed since playing Glinda, Erivo talked why people need Wicked, Elphaba’s battle cry, Wicked: For Good, the Academy Awards, and so much more. Highlights can be found below.

Grande on her new voice: “Galinda required a lot of vocal work for me. Certain things maybe won’t melt away. Some will, but I’m really grateful for the pieces that will stay with us forever. What a beautiful thing to be left with, and to feel the ghost of every day.”

Erivo on why people need Wicked: “The thing that keeps coming back to me is how much people need it. It gives people the permission to think of themselves as people that can help. It might not be easy, but it isn’t impossible. That’s the sort of thing that permeates.”

You can read their full interview here. I can’t wait to see what they do with the scene for “For Good”. I hate we have to wait until November for the next movie!
