@@ceecee8507 Yeah but I feel like it’s more for “show” if that makes sense? For example many directors make movies/ shows for specific actors to be the lead. I mean look at Addison Rae. I’m sure there were 100s of people WAY better at acting who had much more experience for “she’s all that” but they didn’t care. She only started taking acting classes weeks before the filming started and somehow she got the role. But with Ariana grande she took her audition for Glinda seriously. Which was nice to see. Because it gets so annoying when nepo babies or influencers get lead roles who don’t even know how to act. That have zero experiences then they just completely ruin the films.
It’s called plastic surgery that’s wasn’t up keep to stay looking young for longer or a correction say she had a accident that caused damage it was for vanity also she was rich had the best of the best from a young age when her hair was messed from dying it red she had the best hair products and hair extensions so she didn’t have to go thru what ppl who don’t have that do
I am always so excited to see whatever Cynthia Erivo does. She's one of those rare talents that encompasses so many realms and exceeds every expectation. She leaves no crumbs. SHe's worked so hard to be seen. She deserves every opportunity that comes her way and I am so very happy she's Elphaba.
Post people probably watched this for Wicked and not just her. They never clarified if it was "part of" or her "full" audition tape, either. Sounds like it's not what you assumed it would be. Not misleading at all on their end.
im an ariana fan, and a theatre fan and wicked is one of the most beautiful shows i've seen and so evidently my heart is bursting with excitement for this
I've been a fan of Ari since I was about 10 and I remember the interview when asked who she would play. It feels so surreal and full circle. Now getting to know Cynthia and knowing how close they became on set. It just feels so perfect 💗 I can't wait for this film 😭
I always knew she would do the role justice, but hearing Ariana say “I’m gonna take such good care of her” makes it so much more real. She was born for this, they both were
@@eternalbliss330 No, 14-15. Maybe you're confused as there is a video posted 12 years ago, but it is years before, in 2008. There's another video , which says so "14 years old, 2008". This is true, She looks so young.
Ariana and Cynthia clearly formed a special bond and they were destined for these roles. Jon Chu is an amazing director. I can’t wait to see this. It’s going to be a masterpiece. In 3D is going to be even better!!! 🥰❤️
When I saw ''Wicked'' on Bdway with the original cast, my life changed. I was so inspired by the relationship between Menzel and Chenowith, they're interpretive talents never needed words. ''I'll take care of her'' was a natural. Looking forward to Erivo and Grande in the roles I adore.
Ever since I saw the picture of Ariana's reaction upon finding out she's going to be Glinda, I've been wanting to see footage of her reaction. This is what I needed.
you can really tell how ariana and cynthia put so much work and love into these roles, the casting is perfect and i cant wait to see wicked when it comes out !! ❤
I think people kind of immediately marked this movie down cause of Ariana, but most people kind of forget that she grew up on broadway and musical theater, and that was (from what I know) kind of what made her become an actor and singer
Seeing Ari cry bc she got the part being humble about it and not having the attitude like “Ok thanks” kinda like “I knew I would get it” IM LITERALLY SOBBING WTFFF
For a long time I was very much against the musical Wicked because it is NOT the story of the book Wicked, which was (and still is) one of my favorite books of all time. Eventually I fell in love with the music and forgot my forced hatred and started to love musical (and yes, I definitely cried when I saw it on Broadway). When this movie was announced decided to reread the book to prepare. Immediately I remembered how simply incredible it is. Gregory Maguires writing is beautifully poetic and the story is shockingly brutal, relavent and often times extremely upsetting. (seriously, if you haven't read it, do yourself a favor. And get ready for an Oz you never wanted but absolutely needed) The difference this time, and I was really struck by this fact when watching this video, is that the musical and the book need each other.. And, we'll, even more so: the World needs the musical. The book will move you, but much in the same way Handmaid's Tale does. While I believe there is a HUGE place for that in our modern entertainment, I believe that the thing we don't get enough of, and what this world needs more of, is a chance to fly. The musical gives that to every person in the audience. An opportunity to see the changes within us, even the ones that scare us, as another way to show the world and ourselves who we are. We all to not play by the rules sometimes. Every once in a while....we just need to close our eyes.... And be popular. Wait. 🤔 I am so excited for this movie and these two ladies are going to take us somewhere really special. ❤️
Omggg this is what she meant by us getting info about Wicked at the Met Gala!!! I love this I CANNOT WAIT ❤❤❤ Ari crying got me bawling 😭 the way she said “ oh my god thank you I love her so much, I’m gonna take such good care of her” 💜💜😭💜
I want to see her audition videos cause I am still not convinced she beat out other contestants. Her name alone is what got her that role. You better take care of it.
I've never seen Wicked the Musical, but somehow all of this makes me so emotional and nostalgic? Like all of the production team, and the actors seem so invested in this projet, it feels so pure and genuine! I can't wait to see the result, I'm sure it's gonna be great cause it was build with passion and love ♥
this role went to the right person honestly. “she’s just a famous pop idol who got the role because of her popularity”, she’s incredibly talented and have always been a huge fan of theatre arts
If this were any other Broadway show getting a film adaption, I would think "Okay, calm down with the marketing, it's not that life changing". But Elphaba and Glinda are THE roles that any actress would kill to play, celebrity or not. So I believe it.
I just watched Wicked the musical for the 10th time on Sunday (9 times in London and 10th time in Melbourne) and I almost teared up at how good it still is after all these years. I thought I would stop at 10, but I’m definitely going again in 3 mths. I am beyond excited for the movie! I have no doubts Jon (and the whole cast) will do it justice ❤
I’m so glad they’re having actual singers perform in this, instead of falling into the trap other musical adaptations have where they cast big name actors who cannot sing at all (*cough* beauty & the beast) I love Cynthia & Ariana & Wicked. I’m so excited!!!!
i love that in adaptions to books or musicals they are casting people who actually had experience with it before. be it by reading about it or watching it on broadway. im not saying that actors who didnt do that aren't as good but im saying its better for the cast to actually grasp the character they are playing.. that doesn't mean that the uncultured cast cant still view the orginal tho. just saying.. and i love how they casted Ariana for it, not just because she is a celebrity.. much less an old time actor but just because they realized how important the show is for her and the role of glinda itself. applaud to Jon for this. i can't wait!!!1
