“Unveiling Secrets: Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo Spill the Tea on Their Unexpected Collaboration!”
The Onion: Ariana, we heard you first met Kristin Chenoweth backstage at Wicked when you were just 10 years old. What was that like?
Grande: I’ve never met Kristin Chenoweth in my life. I don’t know who that little girl was pretending to be me, but when I find out, I’m going to kill her.
The Onion: What do you want people to take from this film?
Erivo: I hope it draws attention to the very real history of sexist witch hunts and honors the tens of thousands of innocent women who were killed between the 15th and 18th centuries by having houses dropped on them.
The Onion: What do you think Wicked fans will find most surprising?
Grande: I made the choice to play Glinda as Cajun, and I think it really paid off.
