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.

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.

Because the internet can't be stopped, Grande and Erivo have been memed countless times thanks to crying on the Wicked press tour. That's especially true for one viral clip where they're asked about queer fans "holding space" for the lyrics of "Defying Gravity."

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

Wicked and Moana 2 will battle at the box office this holiday weekend but don't think for a second that means that there’s any animosity between the films' stars. While Wicked’s Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande have received a bit of flack for what's being seen by some as an overly emotional press tour,

Wicked' stars Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo were paid the same salary. There were false reports of difference of pay.

However, in the case of promoting a cult-classic, fan-beloved, woman-empowering favorite, the sheer amount of young women looking up to Grande and Erivo is truly insurmountable, and I’d say that standing back,

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.
