Cynthia Erivo seemed to throw shade at the actresses who auditioned for Glinda in the upcoming film Wicked, expressing her gratitude for Ariana Grande’s casting.
Erivo and Grande opened up on what the casting process was like in a recent interview with The New York Times, and the former implied the other women considered for Glinda’s role didn’t meet expectations.
She said, “Thank goodness, because it was not the two ladies that I was auditioning with,” when asked about her reaction to the singer’s casting.
