Ariana Grande is giving fans a glimpse into the making of the highly anticipated Wicked films.
The 29-year-old superstar took to social media on Monday (April 3) to share a rare update on the film adaptation of the beloved Broadway musical. She plays Glinda in the upcoming movies.
Ariana began:
“Halfway. Savoring every millisecond left with my Galinda (although she’’’ be with me irrevocably, forever). She shows me so many new things every day.
i am so grateful, i don’t know what to do or say… to be here in Oz where everyday is a life changing one… to be feeling, learning and growing so much at such a disarming speed… to feel so much love around me, to begin each day before the sun is up and to end after it sets… to hold my brilliant twin flame / sister Cynthia [Erivo]’s beautiful, green hands every day… to work in the safest, most beautiful and loving, biggest-yet-most-intimate/tiny-feeling spaces… to be lead by thee most thoughtful, brilliant, compassionate and warmest possible director on this planet, my other Ozian best friend ever Jon [M. Chu]…”
She poured her heart out, sharing her feelings about making the films:
“to be transforming and healing parts of me that i never knew needed it. or maybe did. forgive me for this most cancerian, rambly post. words don’t suffice but i suppose i just wanted to (attempt to) share a little. i don’t want it to end. so while i am still here, present, now, i just wanted to….exclaim my tremendous gratitution ! and allow my heart to overflow. i hope this isn’t all a dream because as present as i am attempting to be, it sure does feel like one.”
Ariana concluded by marking the filming milestone:
“happy halfway to this most beautiful crew. my fellow Ozians. my heart will be stuck here forever.”
