This is an I-Heart podcast.

Guaranteed Human.

Hello, hello, hello to the naughty but nice show.

I'm your host, Ram's Shooter, and it is Thursday, which means our dear friend. Mark Leiper joins us. Hey, Loopie, are you there? Loopi Lou is here. Loopy, Loopie, what have you been up to? What fabulous parties? What celebrities have you been meeting? I went to the screening of Wicked last night.

It was so good.

I was very impressed by Ariana, Cynthia Riva.

People were crying in the theater.

It was great.

Oh, my goodness.

Is one of them a bigger part than the other in the stage show, Elphabur, the Greenwich? She had actually a bigger part than the other in the stage show, Elphaba the Greenwich. She had actually a

bigger part than the Glinda, who's the pink witch, who's Ariana Grande. Is that still the case?

It's still the case. It very much follows the Broadway show with just more emotion and more

details. Yeah. Oh, that's great. Because yeah, she won the Tony Award for Best Actress, where I think Kristen Chenowitz was up for Best Supporting, or maybe she was up for Best Actress, too, but she didn't win. It was Indyne Mansell who won for her fabulous role of Alphabet, so they follow the Broadway show. Oh, Mark. And their chemistry was undeniable like you could really feel their

friendship yeah and and it you know alpha did have the bigger role but ariana was hilarious she was

really fun yeah i hear she lands it i hear and ariana said she did not get this because she's

ariana grandee she had to audition six times.

And her fame, her celebrity, worked against her a little bit. They were like, are we going to see Glinda on the screen? Or are we going to see Ariana on the screen? Is she too big a star to forget? It's Ariana Grande. But I'm told she pulls it off. She definitely does. and you kind of forget that she's Ariana Grande because the personality and the character

really shines through, which is fun. Oh, I can't wait. Did you go with Kevin Jonas? No, I can only go with coworkers. It wouldn't allow guests. It was very limited screening. We got cancelled at the last minute. So Ms. Dee was invited. Ms Miss Dee did a cover story on Ebony on Cynthia.

It was a cover story. So they invited Miss Dee last night and I was her plus one. And then like, I think I might

have ruined it for Miss Dee because two days before, two days before the actual screening,

Miss Dee got a call saying, I will get to postpone it till November.

And I was like, ooh, I bet they saw my name on that list and said, don't you be bringing him? Shady, sorry, Misty. Okay, let's jump into the show. What time is it, my friends, it is. Tea time. Big story at the top of the show. So Megan Markle is keeping a personal memoir as a weapon in her back pocket in case she needs it.
