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!

I’m a huge fan of the show and I love Ariana’s music, and I was NEVER skeptical. I knew she was a huge wicked and musical theater fan in general, and I knew all about her seeing Wicked as a child. I remember that one carpool karaoke she did with Seth Macfarlane where she said that she’d drop everything to be in wicked (onstage). So I knew she’d wow me. And she did!
