Ariana Grande is looking to return to her first love: musical theater. The Grammy-winning singer, who plays Glinda in Jon M. Chu‘s adaptation of the Tony-winning Broadway musical Wicked, recently said on the Las Culturistas podcast that the movie was a "healing" experience that has led her to consider "reconnecting" with the theater world.

The stars of the new movie reflect on their long ride together, getting through Covid and the actors’ strike, and avoiding “playing to the green.”

Ariana Grande stars in the film adaptation of Wicked as Glinda the Good Witch. When audiences see the movie in theaters, they will notice that the “We Can’t Be Friends” singer uses her full name, Ariana Grande-Butera, in the film’s credits. In a new interview, Grande shares why she changed her name for the film.
