After their journey through Oz, it’s safe to say that Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo have been changed for good.
The Wicked: For Good stars bid farewell to Glinda and Elphaba in some bittersweet tributes to the characters as part two of the Jon M. Chu-helmed movie musical premiered on Friday in theaters.
“Thank you, my sweet Glinda, for everything,” wrote Grande on Instagram. “I will love you always … Wicked: For Good is out now.”

Erivo captioned her own post“I could write you an essay, a poem, Shakespearean prose, to describe what this journey has meant to me, what lessons this time has taught me, bought me. I could try to give a metric to the love I have felt and experienced. I could give a number to the stories I have heard. The truth is the numbers are too small and the words are not enough. So I’ll simply say this.
“Take my hand and walk with me to the end of this road paved with gold and hopefully, the things that I’ve found, might find you too,” she continued. “Thank you for letting me be your Elphaba. All my love, C”
Following last year’s Wickedthe second installment of the feature adaptation has marked a career-best opening for Grande, Erivo and Chu, with a $150M domestic bow and $226M globally.
