As a longtime fan of musical theater and the enchanting world of Oz, I find Ariana Grande’s perspective on the potential queerness of Glinda and the land of Oz incredibly refreshing and delightful! It’s always exciting to see characters that transcend traditional gender norms and embrace a more fluid identity.
Could Glinda the Good Witch also be Glinda the Gay Witch? “Wicked” star Ariana Grande thinks she “might be a little in the closet” — and original Broadway lead Kristin Chenoweth agrees.

In a twist of events, it seems that Grande isn’t alone in her thoughts about Glinda. When E! News shared Grande’s quote from the interview on their Instagram, Chenoweth, who first played Glinda on Broadway in “Wicked,” commented: “I thought so too, way back when…
