Little Ariana attends the Broadway production of Evil Before she sat down at her laptop and tweeted: “I enjoyed watching Wicked again…great production!” I realized again how much I want to play Glinda at some point in my life! #DreamRole.”

In the clip, the “One Less Problem” singer wears her former brunette hair, flashing back in time to 2011 when she actually tweeted this exact message.
