Ariana Grande and original Wicked star Kristin Chenoweth have stirred conversations about Glinda’s queer representation in the beloved musical. In an interview with The Gay Times, Grande speculated that Glinda, the Good Witch, “might be a little in the closet,” highlighting the inherent queerness of the Wicked universe. Grande humorously described Oz as a place where “every day is a Pride parade,” even jokingly labeling Dr. Dillamond, the goat professor, as a “gay icon.”

Kristin Chenoweth supported Grande’s interpretation, commenting on Instagram, “I thought so too way back when.” Co-star Cynthia Erivo also added that the bond between Glinda and Elphaba transcends traditional relationships, describing it as “true love” that is both “romantic and platonic.” The stars’ comments have reignited discussions about the nuanced LGBTQ+ themes embedded in Wicked and its enduring cultural impact.

As fans prepare for the release of the highly anticipated Wicked movie, these remarks add a layer of depth to the beloved characters. The film, starring Grande and Erivo, continues to celebrate the timeless themes of acceptance, friendship, and love, resonating with audiences worldwide.
