Ariana Grande took to Instagram to share her emotions about wrapping filming on the movie adaptation of the musical "Wicked." She shared a behind-the-scenes image of her silhouette with the caption "handprint on my heart," referencing a song from the musical. Grande expressed gratitude for her time portraying Glinda the Good Witch and her co-star Cynthia Erivo. She also thanked the film's director Jon M. Chu for his leadership and described his approach as compassionate and brilliant. Chu had previously bid farewell to Grande on social media, expressing excitement for fans to see her in the film.

Grande met her boyfriend Ethan Slater on set, where he plays the character Boq. Slater also shared some photos from the set. The film, which is a prequel to "The Wizard of Oz," is being adapted into a two-part series. It has kept many details of its production under wraps. The release dates for both parts have been announced. Jeff Goldblum revealed that he had been cast in the film during an appearance on "Jimmy Kimmel Live" earlier this year. Grande had previously shared first look images of her character on social media, and her casting received praise from actress Kristin Chenoweth, who originated the role of Glinda on Broadway.

Chenoweth expressed pride in Grande and encouraged her to make the role her own.
