Might Glinda the Good Witch even be Glinda the Homosexual Witch? Depraved star Ariana Grande thinks she’s “in all probability slightly scared to return out” — and authentic Broadway front-runner Kristen Chenoweth agrees.
In an interview with Homosexual Occasions forward of the musical’s movie premiere, Grande and co-star Cynthia Erivo mentioned Depraved and the inherently queer nature of Oz.
“It is a Delight parade on daily basis within the Emerald Metropolis, proper?” Grande mentioned. “Even the chickens…these chickens are homosexual.” She went on to name Peter Dinklage’s Dr. Dillamond, a professor of goat historical past at Hinds College, a “homosexual icon.”
“I imply, Dr. Dillamond is carrying that Border sweater… let’s speak about it,” she mentioned. “Let’s speak about him and his customized tea set. His tea and his cardigan, I threw them away!
Some Depraved followers even view Glinda and Elphaba as a romantic couple.

I believe they do have an actual relationship, it is real love, and it is in all probability one thing that folks ship It is as a result of the bond they create with one another is unbreakable.
Grande added that they “present a secure house for one another, which is what all relationships needs to be like. So, you understand, whether or not it is romantic or platonic — Glinda could be slightly afraid to return out Cupboard – but when someday comes, you by no means know. Give it slightly extra time.
She concluded: “That is real love, and I believe it goes past intercourse.”
Because it seems, Glinda is not the one one with this concept. When E! Information compiled the interview and posted a quote from Grande on Instagram, with Chenoweth — the unique creator of the function of Glinda within the Broadway musical Depraved — commenting: “Me too a very long time in the past That’s what I believed…”
