American singer-songwriter Ariana plays Glina Upland in the movie a beautiful-popular girl who later becomes a good witch from the north. She can be seen dressed up in a fabulous pink gown emitting the goddess aura.
On the other hand, actress Cynthia Erivo's character of Elphaba Thropp is dressed in a witch gown and hat of black colour as she is the green-skinned wicked witch of the West.
Jon M. Chu also did a follow-up tweet to explain how working with these two actresses has changed him for good.
