The two friends are Glinda (who later becomes Glinda the Good Witch), who will be played by Grande, and Elphaba (who later becomes the Wicked Witch of the West), who will be played by Erivo.
The stars announced the news on their Instagrams on Thursday, as both of them uploaded screenshots of their excitement from their video call with Jon M. Chu, who signed on to direct the movie in February. Chu also directed “Crazy Rich Asians” and “In the Heights.”

This year’s celebrity Halloween costumes showcased a number of pop culture references.
Hailey Bieber lived out her pop idol dreams by dressing up as not one, but four different versions of Britney Spears, while Saweetie paid tribute to her favorite Catwoman (Halle Berry). Heidi Klum remained loyal to her love for Halloween by creating a grotesque short film about zombies.
The “Squid Game” references were plenty, with Blackpink’s Lisa dressing up as the giant robotic doll from the popular Korean drama. Harry Styles celebrated the holiday the best way he knew how: by throwing a concert in New York City called “Harryween.” The Grammy-winning singer stepped onto the stage as Dorothy from “The Wizard of Oz,” complete with sequined red pumps.
Ariana Grande, known for her elaborate costumes in the past, traded in her signature bunny ears and high ponytail to emulate the classic “Creature From the Black Lagoon,” even going as far as creating movie posters with her husband Dalton Gomez as a “handsome scuba man.”
John Legend, Chrissy Teigen, their children Luna and Miles, and Teigen’s mother, Vilailuck Teigen, trick or treated as The Addams Family, while Kendall Jenner channeled her inner alien as she dressed as the iconic martian girl from

Emma Chamberlain is indisputably one of Gen Z’s true “It” girls.
Since stepping onto the scene with YouTube as a 16-year-old, the social media star has launched her own entrepreneurial ventures, including her own coffee company, Chamberlain Coffee, and serving as creative director of beauty line Bad Habit Beauty. She is also an ambassador for Louis Vuitton, attending its fashion shows and wearing its women’s wear frequently.
Chamberlain’s grasp on fashion is noteworthy, and while she has always been known to dress herself well, this year has marked a significant one for her. She made her Met Gala debut and attended Paris Fashion Week once more, all with the help of her stylist Jared Ellner.
The two first met when Ellner helped style the YouTuber for a shoot for Garage Magazine two years ago, while he was still working there as an assistant to the fashion director. “We just hit it off — I loved her,” Ellner told WWD. “It was an incredible day.”
Afterward, her publicist asked if he wanted to style Chamberlain again in the future, which he said he would. Eventually, Ellner left Garage and moved to Los Angeles from New York City with the hopes of becoming a stylist, but

Anya Taylor-Joy continued her streak of high-fashion moments at Monday night’s premiere of “Last Night in Soho” in Los Angeles.
The award-winning actress, who was also recently named Dior’s new global brand ambassador, looked to the design house’s fall 2022 couture collection for the premiere of the Edgar Wright-directed thriller. The flowing gown featured a plunging V-neck and herringbone pleating made in antiquated gold lamé. The look was styled by Paul Burgo.
She paired the dress with jewelry from Tiffany & Co., wearing a platinum necklace with over 77 carats of green tourmalines and over 29 carats of sapphires and a matching ring from the fine jeweler’s Blue Book collection.
The actress was joined at the premiere by costar Thomasin McKenzie, who matched Taylor-Joy in a metallic green dress paired with jewelry from Bulgari’s Serpenti collection. They were also joined on the red carpet by Wright and screenwriter Krysty Wilson-Cairns.
