Why Ariana Grande Is Not the Right Choice for Wicked
People on social media said Cynthia Erivo is the best Wicked's Elphaba, and then they said Ariana Grande is the right choice to play Elphaba in the movie adaptation of Wicked, but many people disagree with that.
Some people think her vocal range is not suitable for the role and that she is not a good actress.
"Ariana Grande is a singer, not an actress," wrote one Twitter user. "She has no experience playing dramatic roles. She's only known for pop music and being a Disney Channel star."
Others pointed out that Grande has been open about her struggles with anxiety and depression, and that playing a character who is struggling with those same issues could be triggering for her.
"Ariana Grande has been very open about her struggles with anxiety and depression," wrote one Twitter user. "Playing a character who is struggling with those same issues could be triggering for her and affect her mental health."
Some people also think that Grande is not diverse enough to play the role of Elphaba, a character who is a woman of color.
"Ariana Grande is a white woman who has profited from her whiteness for her entire career," wrote one Twitter user. "She is not the right choice to play a woman of color like Elphaba."
However, others defended Grande, saying that she has the vocal range and acting ability to pull off the role.
"Ariana Grande has a powerful voice and has proven her acting abilities in other projects," wrote one Twitter user. "She could bring a unique perspective to the role of Elphaba."
Ultimately, the decision of who should play Elphaba in the movie adaptation of Wicked is up to the director and producers.
