These 4 Stars Auditioned to Play Glinda in 'Wicked' Movie, But Ariana Grande Landed the Role Instead

Dove Cameron

Dove chatted with TheWrap about pursuing the role of Glinda and how it was a long audition process.

“I definitely went out for it,” she said. “I know that for everybody who did go out for it, it was a very long process. It was one of the longer processes I’ve been a part of.”

Dove worked with Ariana on Hairspray Live. Also starring in that production was Kristin Chenoweth, who originated the role of Glinda on Broadway!

Dove said, “I’m so excited for Ariana. She’s a genuinely dear friend of mine. We met when we were super young. I think she’s gonna kill it. I think the whole cast is phenomenal head to toe. So, like, as a fan, I’m really, really excited to see it.”
