LAS VEGAS, NEVADA - APRIL 10: Ariana Grande onstage at CinemaCon 2024

Grande playfully admits to “stalking” Platt to play Glinda: “It was literally 10 years of being like, ‘Knock, knock, any developments? Is there an audition coming this year, or next year? I would like to start preparing today.’ ” When the time came, she didn’t ease up. “Every time she came in to audition, she’d be there at least 30 minutes early,” says Chu. “I’d see her car circling. I’d be like, ‘Who is that?’ ‘That’s Ariana Grande.’ ‘Why is she here so early?’ ”
