What is this feeling?
For Wicked fans, it was pure magic once Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo posed alongside original Broadway stars Idina Menzel and Kristin Chenoweth on the red carpet of the film's Nov. 9 premiere in Los Angeles.
But this wouldn't the first time the powerful group got together ahead of the movie's official premiere. As Erivo, who plays Elphaba—a.k.a The Wicked Witch of the West—explained, their predecessors welcomed them to the Land of Oz with open arms.
"We had an amazing day yesterday with the women who created this, the architects, Kristin and Idina," Erivo told Justin Sylvester and Zuri Hall during a joint interview with Grande on the red carpet at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion. "That was one of the most incredible highlights of our year, to be honest, to be able to share some space with them."
And the "yes, and?" musician couldn't help but agree.

"Every single one of our sister witches has been very, very, very supportive. We just feel so honored to be a part of this legacy and to be the ones in the movie. It's such a sweet thing to share with them."
And it goes without saying that Chenoweth and Menzel feel the exact same, especially considering Grande's turn as Glinda serves as a full-circle moment for the singer.
"When she was 10 she told me, 'I want to be you. I want to play Glinda.' In that same voice," Chenoweth explained on the red carpet. "Obviously, we are close. I've known her since she was 10."
Noting that when the "7 Rings" singer got the audition, they "both cried," she added that when Grande landed the role, "We both sounded like dolphins."
In fact, after the Victorious alum was casted, she told Chenoweth, "‘I want to make you proud. I want to pay homage to you.'"
A feat that the Broadway star noted already came true. As she recalled telling Grande, "‘You will do all of that, but put your own stamp on it.' And she did."
