Why Ariana Grande’s Brother Frankie "Sobbed" Over Her Wicked Casting

As a seasoned theater enthusiast with a keen eye for talent, let me tell you, the Wicked premiere is shaping up to be an unforgettable event! With a cast that includes stars from various walks of life, each bringing their unique experiences and charisma to the stage, it’s going to be a magical night.


Frankie Grande knows his sister Ariana Grande is truly that girl.

Indeed, upon hearing that the Grammy-winning actress had secured the part of Glinda the Good Witch in Wicked, her loved ones burst with such joy it seemed as if they were ready to skip through life.

Frankie shared with Justin Sylvester and Zuri Hall from TopMob News on the red carpet at Dorothy Chandler Pavilion on November 9th that he was at the Bourbon Room in Hollywood when he received some touching news. This was before his show, Horror Camp. He explained that this significant piece of information came to him in the bathroom, and as he was with his mother and sister, we all tumbled to the floor in tears. It was a truly heartwarming moment.

He expressed, “Given our family’s background in musical theater and her lifelong aspiration for it, seeing her finally realize this dream that she has cherished for years is indescribably heartwarming. I can barely find the words to convey it, but I am incredibly proud of her.

It’s not the first occasion that the ‘Summoning Sylvia’ actor has shared his feelings when he found out his sister got her desired role, as you can imagine.

Frankie shared with TopMob News in March 2023 that she put an immense amount of effort into the audition phase, and later allowed him to know the details about each one. He recollected a moment when she informed him that she had secured the role, causing both of them to break down in tears, as it was a lifelong dream for her.

To such an extent, when the “7 Rings” artist secured an extraordinary chance, she was resolute in dedicating all her energy towards the movie project.

During an interview with Zach Sang in February, she expressed that she’s never desired something as intensely as she did this role. She elaborated on how much effort playing Glinda demanded, stating that she had to dismantle parts of herself to demonstrate her ability to embody another character. She had to eliminate the ‘popstar Ari’ persona, who is well-known, because it’s even more challenging for people to accept someone as someone else when they’re so closely associated with one image. She went to great lengths and removed those aspects entirely.
