Ariana Grande shares behind-the-scenes Wicked photo of Cynthia Erivo flying through air as Elphaba - after emotional post about wrapping film with boyfriend Ethan Slater

Ariana Grande misses her time filming the musical Wicked as she continues to share photos from the wrapped set online.

A day after the pop princess posted an image of her silhouette as Glinda the Good Witch, she took to Instagram with a behind-the-scenes snap of her costar Cynthia Erivo.

The black and white image was also a silhouette, highlighting Cynthia flying through the air as Elphaba, the Wicked Witch of the West.

A separate behind-the-scenes snap featured the silhouette of Prince Fiyero, who is being played by Fellow Travelers star Jonathan Bailey.

The share comes after Ariana’s emotional post about wrapping Wicked, where she met her boyfriend Ethan Slater.

Ethan plays Boq, a resident of Munchkinland, in the upcoming film based on Gregory Maguire’s best selling novel and the hit Broadway musical adaptation.

It serves as a prequel to The Wizard of Oz, exploring the narrative before Dorothy’s arrival and delving into the former friendship between the characters Elphaba and Glinda.

‘I will never forget even a minute of my year(s) with [Glinda],’ Ariana wrote on her Instagram Story. ‘Or you. or my Cyn. Permanently and preferably intertwined.’

She continued: ‘I am so inexplicably thankful that we got to add so many soggy eyelashes to the collection.’

The film’s director, Jon M. Chu, received a shout out as well.

‘Thank you, Jon, for leading the way with such compassion, openness, brilliance and kindness,’ she concluded. ‘I have never seen someone conduct a space the way you do. I love you so much.’

The sweet send off comes after Ariana dropped her first single since 2021.

Yes, And? appeared to take aim at the hate she received over her romance with boyfriend Ethan, whom she began dating soon after her split from Dalton Gomez.

Repeatedly asking, ‘Yes, and?’ she urges listeners to reflect on why they feel compelled to comment on her life.

‘Your business is yours, and mine is mine,’ the pop princess also croons, before adding, ‘Why do you care so much whose d*** I ride?’

Ariana found herself under public scrutiny in July when rumors circulated about her dating her Wicked costar Ethan, just days after news of her breakup with Dalton emerged.

To add to the eyebrow-raising, Ethan had recently ended his marriage with Lilly Jay, his high school sweetheart.

They had welcomed their first baby together in August 2022, and he filed for divorce from her in July 2023.

To mark the end of her days as Glinda the Good Witch, the Thank U, Next singer, 30, shared a behind-the-scenes image of her silhouette, with the caption 'handprint on my heart,' referencing the song, For Good, from the hit 2003 musical Wicked

The fiery number also comes after it was reported that Ariana and Ethan had taken their relationship to the next level in November, with the Dangerous Woman singer now living with her Wicked co-star in New York City, as he performs in Spamalot.

The pair met in December 2022 on the UK set of the film adaptation of the smash-hit Broadway musical Wicked.

Both couples announced they had split within a few days of each other back in July 2023, with Ariana announcing her separation from Dalton just three days before confirming her new relationship with Ethan, who then filed for divorce from Lilly.

Yes, And? serves as the lead track for Ariana’s anticipated seventh studio album, which she started hinting at in late December.

The pop icon dropped her last studio album, positions, in 2020.

Wicked is expected to hit theaters in November 2024.
