Ariana Grande originally auditioned for both Elphaba and Glinda in the 'Wicked' movies, but director Jon M. Chu says the Elphaba auditions were the result of a miscommunication.
"She was being nice to me and I was being nice to her," Chu says of having Grande sing multiple Elphaba songs in her "Wicked" audition.with over seven years of experience in the entertainment industry. An award-winning journalist, she's written for Turner Classic Movies,, and more. She's worked at EW for six years covering film, TV, theater, music, and books.
"The funny thing is that before this, publicly, we had only ever sung the opposite songs," Grande tells EW of her and costar, revealing that she auditioned for both roles."I had an inkling in my heart always that it was going to be Glinda, but I was hearing really mixed things from people who were like, 'Oh, they maybe want you to read for both,'" she said.
Her first audition was on Aug. 13, 2021, and she was asked to sing for both roles, preparing "No One Mourns, the Wicked," "Popular," and "Defying Gravity."Chu let Grande sing all the songs she had prepared, but they found out later that neither of them seriously wanted her to be in the running for Elphaba. "She was being nice to me, and I was being nice to her," Chu says. "We just let her do it.
