Keywestclubkid December 12 Share December 12 13 hours ago, meep.meep said: For award consideration, that's pretty common. Keeps the two actors from competing against each other directly. Grande has almost no acting experience and Erivo has lots. plus it is more the "Wicked" witches story ... Link to comment

But playing Elphaba might have meant missing out on being in The Penguin, which is a net loss for me as a viewer. 2 Link to comment

I remember her from Victorious (because i have kids). My kids used to watch those shows. And as dumb as they were I imagine they were boot camp for actors since they probably learn a ton. I just looked it up and Grande did 92 episodes of Victorious and Sam & Cat in like 4 years. I am just glad she didn't do that super annoying voice from those shows in Wicked. 1 Link to comment

Keywestclubkid 10 hours ago Share 10 hours ago (edited) I hate that Ari gets shit on like she hasn’t been around and acting before she was known as a singer .. she was a HUGE theatre kid/nerd .. no one handed these parts to either woman .. they have both paid their dues and worked for these roles .. hell Ari did more vocal lessons and acting lessons waaaaybefore in hopes of getting and being prepared for THIS audition before there was even whispers of them .. like she worked her ass off just like Cynthia Edited 10 hours ago by Keywestclubkid 2 Link to comment
