Grande spoke about the upcoming movie on ‘The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon’ on Thursday, June 6
Ariana Grande made her dreams come true.
On Thursday, June 6, the singer and actress, 30, appeared on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon where she discussed her role of Glinda in the upcoming film adaptation of the smash hit Broadway musical, Wicked.
During the conversation, Fallon, 49, said he saw a tweet Grande posted way back in 2011 about her “dream role” in the production, which is based on the 1995 novel Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West by Gregory Maguire.
“I found a tweet that you put out in 2011 by the way,” the host said as he held up a card that featured the pop star’s post.
Fallon continued, “It said, ‘Loved seeing Wicked again … amazing production! Made me realize again how badly I want 2 play Glinda at some point in my life! #DreamRole.”
“You did it!” Fallon yelled as the audience cheered.
“It’s just so surreal to see, of course, the response. You know, this is something that Cynthia and I lived every single day. The brilliant Cynthia Erivo,” Grande said as she spoke about the public’s response to the trailer. “And you know it was ours for so long and it was just every single day for such a long time.”
