While Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo have been coordinating their fashion, unfortunately they had similar experiences with getting sick on set. Because Erivo also got sick before her biggest number, "Defying Gravity." As she shared: I got Covid the week before I shot ‘Defying Gravity.’ It was literally like, ‘Sit down, Cynthia, not yet.’

Cynthia Erivo shaded the actresses who auditioned for the role of Glinda in the “Wicked” movie, expressing her gratitude that Ariana Grande ultimately landed the part. In a new interview with The New York Times, Erivo, 37, and Grande, 31, spoke about the casting process.
