Ariana Grande, pop singer-turned-actress playing "Glinda" in Wicked, explored her character's sexuality while doing an interview promoting the new movie.

As Wicked takes the box office by storm, Ariana Grande and Kristin Chenoweth are reminding audiences who was the original "friend of Dorothy."

Ariana Grande, who stars as Glinda in Jon M. Chu’s “Wicked,” reportedly didn’t want to perform a new version of “Popular” in the musical film. Stephen Schwartz — the composer and lyricist of the original Broadway musical as well as the movie of the same name — recently told the Los Angeles Times that he and his music team considered refreshing the “rhythm” of the number in the spirit of “being open to new things” for the film.
