Ariana Grande is no stranger to awards with over 90 million records sold worldwide and numerous accolades under her belt, including two Grammys, Billboard Music Awards, and MTV Video Awards. However, this year marks a new milestone as she takes on the role of Galinda/Glinda in Wicked, earning her Golden Globe, Critics Choice, BAFTA, and SAG nominations.
In an exclusive conversation for Deadline’s “The Actor’s Side,” Grande discusses her journey to this point, including her Broadway debut in 2008’s 13, and her recent roles in Adam McKay’s Don’t Look Up. She also shares insights into her musical career, including the lessons learned from Gloria Estefan and a notable misstep – singing the Titanic theme “My Heart Will Go On”.
Grande credits Wicked as the pinnacle of her career so far, having taken multiple auditions to perfect the role that has earned her widespread acclaim. With the upcoming release of Wicked: For Good, Grande is poised for even greater success.
