Aisha Retno, the singer who voices Glinda in the Malaysian dub of the upcoming Wicked: For Good movie, was recently invited to the film's premiere in Singapore — and unexpectedly ended up living every fan's dream: singing with Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo during a meet-and-greet
Ariana Grande reprises her role as Glinda the Good Witch, while Cynthia Erivo returns as Elphaba, the Wicked Witch of the West, in the sequel to the musical-film adaptation of Wicked.
Their appearance, along with other cast members including Michelle Yeoh, was part of the global promo tour for Wicked: For Good.
In her caption, Malaysian singer-songwriter Aisha Retno summed up her emotions perfectly: "crying crying crying. Representing Malaysia for the Wicked movie premiere… I love you Ari, I love you Cynthia. I indeed have been changed for good because of these amazing two."
During her turn at the meet-and-greet, Aisha introduced herself to the duo: "Hi, I'm from Malaysia, and I'm doing the Malaysian voice for your dub."
Ariana and Cynthia immediately lit up, replying, "That's amazing!". And before anyone could process what was happening, they started harmonising For Good together, casual as ever.
To make the moment even sweeter, Aisha gifted both Ariana and Cynthia a piece of Malaysian batik in pink and green as a thoughtful little token
Before leaving, she told them, "Malaysian fans love you so much."
Both actresses responded with the same warmth and kindness they're known for, making the whole interaction even more wholesome.
Aisha ended her caption with heartfelt gratitude, "Alhamdulillah… been a fan of these two since forever. Thank you @uipmalaysia for this golden opportunity. Glinda dubber Malaysia signing off! hehe."
