Ariana Grande Shares Heartwarming Movie Moment with Her 99-Year-Old Grandmother

The pop star flew to her hometown theater in Florida for a special screening of 'Wicked' with family, including her grandmother Marjorie Grande and boyfriend Ethan Slater.

  • Ariana Grande returned to her hometown of Boca Raton, Florida, to watch 'Wicked' with her 99-year-old grandmother, Marjorie 'Nonna' Grande, at the local theater she frequented as a child.
  • Grande's boyfriend and 'Wicked' co-star, Ethan Slater, joined the family for the screening and was credited with capturing heartfelt moments on camera.
  • Marjorie Grande, a longtime supporter of Ariana, gained recognition earlier this year as the oldest person to chart on the Billboard Hot 100 for her feature on Ariana's song 'Ordinary Things.'
  • The family outing celebrated the success of 'Wicked,' which earned over $162 million globally during its opening weekend, making it the highest-grossing debut for a Broadway adaptation in cinematic history.
  • Fans were touched by the generational connection, as Marjorie was a teenager when 'The Wizard of Oz' premiered in 1939, and now witnessed her granddaughter's role in the iconic Oz universe.
