Dove Cameron may not have bagged the part of Glinda in the upcoming Wicked film, but she’s still “really excited to see it.” The 27-year-old, revealed during a Schmigadoon! Season 2 event in North Hollywood that she indeed “went out” for the role in Jon M Chu’s two films during the audition process. The role, of course, has since gone to fellow children’s television alum and music superstar Ariana Grande.
“I know that for everybody who did go out for it, it was a very long process,” Cameron has said. “It was one of the longer processes I’ve been a part of.” Cameron, who works alongside the original Glinda Kristen Chenoweth on Schmigadoon!, shared that despite not being cast, she’s “excited for Ariana,” 29, who she called “a living icon.” She said, “Ariana is a genuinely dear friend of mine. We met when we were super young. I think she’s gonna kill it.” She added, “I think the whole cast is phenomenal, head to toe. So, as a fan, I’m really, really excited to see it.”

The pair also appeared in Hairspray Live! together back in 2016.
