Kristin Chenoweth Says One Million Moms Spew Out Hate with 'Wicked' Boycott

Grande and Erivo discussed the inherent queerness of both "Wicked" and the world of Oz created by author L. Frank Baum in a video interview with Gay Times.

"Every day in the Emerald City is a Pride parade, right?" Grande said. "Even, like, the chickens. Those chickens are gay." She also claims that Dr. Dillamond, the goat professor at Shiz University played by Peter Dinklage, is a "gay icon".

And both think that those believing Galinda and Elphaba are in a romantic relationship aren't very far off. "I think Elfie, she goes wherever the wind goes. I think she loves Glinda, I think she loves love," Erivo said. "I don't think there's anything wrong with celebrating the deep connection that both of them have. They do have a real relationship, it is true love, which is probably why people are shipping it because what they build with each other is an unbreakable bond."

Grande explained that their characters provide "such a safe space for one another, which is what all relationships should be."

"So, you know, whether it's romantic or platonic – Glinda might be a little in the closet – but if there were a time, you never know. Give it a little more time," she added.
