“I definitely went out for it,” she said. “I know that for everybody who did go out for it, it was a very long process. It was one of the longer processes I’ve been a part of.”

The role went to Ariana Grande, who Dove worked with on Hairspray Live. Also starring in that production was Kristin Chenoweth, who originated the role of Glinda on Broadway!

Dove said, “I’m so excited for Ariana. She’s a genuinely dear friend of mine. We met when we were super young. I think she’s gonna kill it. I think the whole cast is phenomenal head to toe. So, like, as a fan, I’m really, really excited to see it.”
