A Wicked Original Opens Up About Her Potential Movie Cameo

The new ‘Wicked’ movie is in full swing, as the musical fantasy is set to hit the big screen after so many years of dominating Broadway. With an all-star cast and a story that’s kept people gripped for years, it seems it has everything it could need to thrive. Now, a ‘Wicked’ original has opened up about her potential movie cameo.

Just because people can’t stop talking about the upcoming movie doesn’t mean people have forgotten entirely about the Broadway musical that gave ‘Wicked’ its start. Kristin Chenoweth played Glinda the Good Witch in the original Broadway and seemingly has a lot to say about the rumors buzzing about her rumored appearance.

Kristin Chenoweth won’t admit if she’s making a cameo in Wicked

Although many want to know all they can about the upcoming ‘Wicked’ movie, it seems the studio is keeping tight-lipped about it all. Apart from a few behind-the-scenes snaps and teaser posters, little is known about what we can expect from the final product. All we do know is that Broadway star Kristin Chenoweth has been linked to ‘Wicked’ for years, and many are eager to see the original Glinda the Good Witch make an appearance in the film. Sadly, when talking to ‘Entertainment Tonight,’ Kristin admitted she couldn’t “confirm or deny” if she is going to be making a cameo. Instead, the actress merely added, “I’m waiting and we’ll see.”

The Broadway star is “proud” to see Ariana Grande shine

One thing Kristin Chenoweth couldn’t help but do during her interview was gush over Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo taking on the two leading roles. Kristin admitted that she is going to “get to watch two women I know soar” and how she knows Ariana will “step so beautifully into my shoes.” Of course, this doesn’t mean we should expect to see the same story and character come to life. Instead, Kristin is confident Ariana will “put her own stamp” on Glinda and can’t wait to see what comes to life on the big screen. When talking on ‘The Kelly Clarkson Show,’ Kristin added she is “so proud” to know Ariana will be the one bringing the Good Witch to life.

Ariana Grande has known Kristin Chenoweth for years

Believe it or not, but there is more of a link between Ariana Grande and Kristin Chenoweth than many realize. That’s because the Broadway legend has been friends with the singer and actress since she was ten years old. According to Kristin, Ariana called her as soon as she got the part in ‘Wicked,’ adding that she wanted to make the Broadway legend proud. After confirming she was already proud of the star, Kristin said she wanted the new role to have its own twist. Kristin admitted she told Ariana to “make Glinda your Glinda” and, although she can “tip your hat at me if you want,” the star wants Ariana “to do you.”

We don’t have to wait long for the first of the ‘Wicked’ movie installments, with part one set to hit the big screen in November 2024. From there, we only have a year to see how the rest of the story will unfold. All we do know is whatever Ariana Grande does with her role, she will do it with Broadway legend Kristin Chenoweth’s blessing.
