Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo get witchy with BTS snaps from set of Wicked film adaptation – in which they star as Glinda and Elphaba
Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo wowed as they shared behind-the-scenes snaps from their roles as Glinda and Elphaba in the upcoming film adaptation of Wicked.
Grande captioned the snaps, ‘up to (no) good’ and added bubbles and a broom emoji.
In the first photo, the women sit in the back of a car. Grande is dressed in an elegant pink polka dot gown and long white gloves with her blonde hair in her trademark high ponytail. She wears a stunning pair of Mikimoto dangling pearl earrings.
Erivo is dressed in a short plaid dress with tall black boots and big hoop earrings as the two women look at each other.
The carousel of snaps also features some behind-the-scenes shots from the set of Wicked, including one shot of two pairs of feet in which Grande tagged director Jon M. Chu and the Wicked Movie account.

Wicked, which is being adapted into a two-part series, has kept details of its shoot under wraps.
Last week, Jeff Goldblum let it slip that he had been cast in the film while appearing on Jimmy Kimmel Live.
‘I was just on the set of Wicked. I’m not supposed to talk about that. But it’s been out and about,’ he said.
And he gushed about Grande and Eviro, adding, ‘You should see our witches, Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande, very good.’
The film is based on Gregory Maguire’s best selling novel and the hit Broadway musical adaptation,
It also stars Michelle Yeoh as Madame Morrible and Jonathan Bailey as Fiyero, as well as Bowen Yang, Adam James, Keala Settle and Bronwyn James.
