Ariana Grande has been very open about the fact that playing Glinda was her absolute dream role. She wanted the part so badly that she lobbied for it for a full decade before it ever started casting. 'I had been chasing [producer] Marc Platt down for about 10 years, wondering when this movie was going to happen, when I would have the opportunity to audition,' she told People.

In order to put good juju towards her dream, Ariana - who recently visited a children's hospital, began asking herself, 'What underwear would Glinda wear today?'. 'As soon as I heard that maybe in a few months they might start seeing people, I was like, "Great! Now's the time I'm starting,"' Grande said.

When it was time for her to audition she sang some of Elphaba's songs as well as No One Mourns the Wicked and Popular. Ariana Grande has been very open about the fact that playing Glinda was her absolute dream role. Seen here on November 3. 'Weirdly, strangely, I sang for both [Glinda and Elphaba],' Grande said. 'I don't know why — I think we all kind of knew why I was going in, and it was for Glinda.

'I love Elphaba, but you know,' she added. Director Jon M. Chu also appears in the video clip and admits he was both well aware that Ariana had been saying she wanted the role for years and he had no intention of casting her in the role of Glinda. 'In my head, I was like, "We're never giving this to Ariana Grande. That'll take over the movie — [it'll be] about Ariana Grande."'.
