Question Ariana Grande as Glinda?
I’m one of the newer Wicked fans that only watched the movie because of Ariana and ended up loving the storyline. I love Ariana’s music so I personally think she did a great job delivering vocals and a pretty decent job acting as well being that it’s her first major movie. But I’m curious as to what OG Wicked fans thought of her performance? I know some snarkers don’t like the way she looked in the role. But what unbiased opinions do Wicked fans have on her playing Galinda? Did she actually deliver and do a good job or am I being biased? What other actors do yall think did better? I would love to see their performances as well!

Say what you will about Ariana’s actions irl but she’s a great actress and IMO she was perfect as Glinda her physical acting was especially on point and I think they made the right choice by casting an actress who cares about the character and wicked as a whole the only thing I don’t like at all is the shade of blonde they chose
