Shortly after the news broke, Grande celebrated the announcement on her personal Instagram account by sharing a slideshow of screenshots from a Zoom call between herself, Erivo and Chu.
The artist also posted a pic of the pink bouquet she received from her new co-star, who wrote: “‘Pink goes good with green.’ Congratulations Miss A, the part was made for you, I look forward to sharing this musical journey with you.”
The caption read, “Thank goodness [heart and arrow emoji] @jonmchu @cynthiaerivo @wickedmovie.”
It seems Grande returned the favor because Erivo also posted a slideshow of similar photos, featuring the white and green flowers she received from her co-star. The note read, “Dear Cynthia, honored doesn’t even begin to cover it. I cannot wait to hug you. See you in Oz.”
