WHEN Ariana Grande was 10, her mom took her to see Wicked on Broadway, followed by a backstage visit with the original Glinda, Kristin Chenoweth, who gifted her with a witch's wand and shower gel the tween treated like a special potion. "Dipping a tiny little pinky in," the 31-year-old recalled, adding, "I really think it was magical now."
