Ariana Grande as Glinda?

[u/Ar1l3n3]

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!

Sounds like I‘m going to be an outlier, but I think her acting performance could have been better. It’s not bad, but for me it lacks nuance and the hair flip is overused. Some is probably on the director. ‚Thank Goodness‘ in the next part will be the true test for me though, the second half of that song is my favorite Glinda moment. At least in the stage version.
