If you thought the Wicked press tour couldn't get any gayer, think again!In a recent interview with Gay Times, stars Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo were asked about the resurgence of fans who ship their characters together romantically. Erivo answered that she doesn't "think there's anything wrong with celebrating the deep connection the both of them have," calling it "true love." Meanwhile, Grande, who had previously referred to the relationship between Glinda and Elphaba as "one of the greatest platonic love stories" in conversation with Out, was even more blunt about her character."Glinda might be a little in the closet," she said. "You never know. Give it a little more time." (@) As if that wasn't already enough to have Wicked fans screaming, Kristin Chenoweth left heads spinning when she commented on a clip of the interview with her own thoughts on the matter."I thought so too way back when..." she wrote, clearly referencing her time originating the role of Galinda on Broadway. (@) Now, Glinda being more than a little bit fruity is not exactly breaking news to queer Wicked fans who have paid the slightest bit of attention over the years. Anyone who thinks otherwise might also be shocked to learn that Wicked started out as a book and even its author, Gregory Maguire, has expressed thoughts on the subject. Namely, "Gelphie is real." (@) (@) And the subtext in that source material suggests even more, well, closeting. (@) (@) That said, Grande and Chenoweth sharing their own thoughts on the matter has been more than welcome. Anything that moves the queer coding of beloved characters from deep lore to something more public can only be a good thing!
