“I love her so much, I’ve known her since she was 10,” Kristin said when asked about Ariana playing the role that she originated in the Broadway musical.

She added that “I think that crown and wand are going to the exact correct person. And I think she’s gonna nail it.”

“Maybe some people do know this about Ari, but she’s really, really funny. And Glinda has to do funny and drama; she has to do it all. And sing high and sing low. And so, there’s the girl,” Kristin said, adding that “I did cry when she got it.”

Later on that night, Kristin also stopped by The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. Check out the videos below!
