Chenoweth, who originated the role of Glinda in the 2003 Broadway alongside Idina Menzel as Elphaba, previously opened up about the film adaptation in a \"Good Morning America\" interview last September.

The Tony winner said the advice she gave Ariana Grande -- who is playing Glinda in the film opposite Cynthia Erivo's Elphaba -- was for her to \"put your own stamp on it.\"

Chenoweth also said the new version of \"Wicked\" will only help expand upon the legacy she and Menzel helped create.

\"Nobody can take away what Idina and I did in those roles.\" she noted. \"And nobody will be able to take away what new and fun and exciting things that Cynthia and Ariana do.\"

\"Wicked\" flies into theaters Nov. 22.
