Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo have been defying gravity since they wrapped Wicked. Two months ahead of its highly anticipated premiere, Ariana, 31, shared a behind-the-scenes image of her and Cynthia, 37, to Instagram. In her caption, the “Thank U, Next” hitmaker teased fans that they’re only “80 days” away from seeing part 1 of the film adaptation.
In the image, Ariana and Cynthia were dressed in their respective costumes as Galinda (known as Glinda from the original Wizard of Oz) and Elphaba, who becomes the Wicked Witch of the West. The Nickelodeon alum appeared to have taken the selfie, and she made sure to capture her tall silver crown in addition to Cynthia’s green makeup.
The dynamic duo have been teasing fans with their upcoming movie, which is based on the original Broadway musical. Earlier this summer, Ariana and Cynthia attended the 2024 Paris Olympics. They posed in front of the Eiffel Tower in full Wicked-themed outfits, as the “Break Free” singer wore a pale pink dress with white gloves, and the Color Purple alum donned a green strapless dress with a matching hat.
The fellow theatre girls also celebrated their Wicked character dolls in July, which Cynthia revealed in an Instagram video.
“What a dream come true to be realized as Elphaba and Glinda in the form of Sweet Little dolls,” Cynthia captioned her post, adding, “Little Cynthia and little Ari are pleased.”
In April, Ariana and Cynthia promoted their movie at CinemaCon, both wearing pink and green outfits that were emblematic of their characters.
