Ariana Grande unlocks the secret understanding of her Glinda character in Wicked’s film adaptation during her deep exploration of the part. During an interview with IndieWire, the singer-actress explained that Glinda’s endless love for Elphaba continues across the storyline to shape the entire production environment on set. According to Ariana each member of the film production team showed profound care and dedicated thoughtfulness by carefully executing their work.
In a recent interview, Ariana Grande disclosed Glinda’s ability to portray unconditional love through her Wicked performance both in and out of the movie set. During an IndiesWire interview, the music artist highlighted Glinda’s profound feelings, particularly in her bond with Elphaba.
A Real World Behind the Scenes
On the set, the production team and crew matched the authentic feel of the story while sharing the same emotional investment that Ariana Grande described in the interview.
“Every single person involved led with that same intentionality and thoughtfulness,” she revealed.
She also emphasized the meticulous detail put into the film’s world-building, explaining,
“Nothing wasn’t thought of. Every page on the books that are on the table that you don’t even get to see opened, they’re written about Ozian history.”

A Shared Responsibility
Ariana Grande revealed that the production team wrote words in all the prop journals positioned next to the actors’ beds to create an authentic feeling for the actors and crew.
“We all walk into the space with the awareness that everyone feels this same responsibility,” she shared. “I’m not alone in that.”
