AceShowbiz - Ariana Grande shares her tearful goodbye to Glinda's iconic bubble from "Wicked," reflecting on the profound connection she felt to the prop and character.
In a behind-the-scenes video posted to Instagram, Grande, 31, is captured reacting with tears to her final day filming in Glinda's magical bubble. Seated in the pink gown within the prop, she expresses her sadness and attachment to the object.
"Horrible. Terrible. I'm not getting up," Grande proclaims. "I need to call my therapist... This is a mess."
The video ends with a montage of shots from Grande's last day filming on the Munchkinland set, where she describes the bubble as "a home away from home" and "a protective shell" for Glinda.
In a heartfelt caption accompanying the post, Grande further explains the emotional significance of the props, saying that they "hold so much" for herself and the character. She acknowledges the parallels between Glinda's need for hope and her own experiences with loss and grief.
During the press tour for "Wicked," Grande shared similar emotional reactions, telling hosts of the "Sentimental Men" podcast that "everyone cried every day." She also shed a tear upon being presented with the original magic wand from "The Wizard of Oz" on "The Drew Barrymore Show."
"Wicked: Part One" is currently in theaters, with Part Two slated for release in 2025.
