Ariana Grande revealed her intense desire to play Glinda the Good Witch in the upcoming film Wicked, joking that she might have ended up in an insane asylum if she hadn’t gotten the role.
Grande underwent months of vocal and acting training to prepare for the audition, giving her all to the process.
“Vocally, it’s very different for me than what I usually sing, so I started training every single day with my vocal coach for two-and-a-half, three months before my first audition, and my acting coach,” said Grande.
At first, director Jon M. Chu had doubts about Grande’s ability to carry a movie, but he was impressed by her growth during production.
