The second photo shows Grande as the blonde Glinda, aka Galinda, climbing up a long staircase in a huge pink gown. Grande also posted the photo of herself on her own Instagram.

On April 3, Grande took to Instagram to commemorate the halfway point of making the film.

She wrote, \"i hope this isn't all a dream because as present as i am attempting to be, it sure does feel like one. happy halfway to this most beautiful crew. my fellow Ozians. my heart will be stuck here forever.\"

The original release date for the first \"Wicked\" movie was set for December 2024 but Chu announced last month that the film's release has been moved to Nov. 27, 2024.
