Ariana Grande, Cynthia Erivo and More Best Red Carpet Moments From the ‘Wicked’ Premiere
Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo made Wicked filming so magic.
Just ask Ethan Slater, who plays Boq opposite their Glinda and Elphaba.
“They set the tone for all of us,” Ethan told E! News’ Justin Sylvester in a joint interview with costar Marissa Bode. “It felt familial. It felt like we were all in it together and that started with them.”
He emphasized, “They’re a force together.”
And Ethan, who began dating Ariana last July, knows that his girlfriend is a pro when it comes to her art.
“She’s incredible,” the star of Broadway’s The Spongebob Musical added. “She’s not a singer who wants to be an actress or an actress who wants to be a singer. She’s just the best of both.” (For more with Ethan and the rest of the Wicked cast, tune into E! News tonight, Nov. 12 at 11 p.m.)
As Marissa—who plays Elphaba’s younger sister Nessarose—explained, Ariana and Cynthia’s offscreen relationship strengthened their performances as Glinda and Elphaba.
