Did Universal Pictures confirm the rumors about Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo’s salaries for Wicked? Find out more! The post No, the Wicked Ariana Grande & Cynthia Erivo Salary Rumors Aren’t True appeared first on ComingSoon.

Those involved have been doing a ton of press for the film, but why are Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande always crying during Wicked events? Ethan Slater thinks he knows. The Wicked cast list is led by Grande and Erivo,

The rumor about Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo’s “Wicked” paychecks has been cleared up. It was reported online that Grande, 31, was paid $15 million to star as Glinda the Good Witch in the two-part movie musical, while Erivo, 37, only got $1 million to play Elphaba, the Wicked Witch of the West.

Some on social media have been saying Ariana Grande got paid more for “Wicked” than her costar Cynthia Erivo, but the movie’s studio is setting the record straight.

In “Wicked,” Elphaba and Glinda travel from Shiz University to the Emerald City on a glistening green train to meet the wizard.

The confirmation comes after rumors spread on social media that the “We Can’t Be Friends (Wait for Your Love)” singer, 31, was paid a whopping $15 million for her supporting role as Glinda, while Erivo, 37, made only $1 million to lead as Elphaba.
