And
it
goes
without
saying
that
Chenoweth
and
Menzel
feel
the
exact
same,
especially
considering
Grande’s
turn
as
Glinda
serves
as
a
full-circle
moment
for
the
singer.
“When
she
was
10
she
told
me, ‘I
want
to
be
you.
I
want
to
play
Glinda.’
In
that
same
voice,”
Chenoweth
explained
on
the
red
carpet. “Obviously,
we
are
close.
I’ve
known
her
since
she
was
10.”
Noting
that
when
the “7
Rings”
singer
got
the
audition,
they “both
cried,”
she
added
that
when
Grande
landed
the
role, “We
both
sounded
like
dolphins.”
In
fact,
after
the
Victorious
alum
was
casted,
she
told
Chenoweth, “‘I
want
to
make
you
proud.
I
want
to
pay
homage
to
you.'”
A
feat
that
the
Broadway
star
noted
already
came
true.
As
she
recalled
telling
Grande, “‘You
will
do
all
of
that,
but
put
your
own
stamp
on
it.’
And
she
did.”
