Ariana Grande is going all out as Glinda in Wicked!

On Monday, Grande, 29, was spotted filming scenes for the upcoming film adaptation of the hit Broadway musical on Wicked's United Kingdom set for the first time.

The singer and actress was seen wearing a bright pink gown with a matching scepter in hand and tiara on her head as she stood on top of what appeared to be a giant golden-and-pink carriage or throne during filming.

Grande was filming Wicked's opening number, "No One Mourns the Wicked," in the moments captured in the photographs, according to The Daily Mail, which cited eyewitnesses to the production's filming in a village nearby East Buckinghamshire in the U.K., northwest of London.

Additional photos from the set published by the outlet Monday show an entire small village constructed for Wicked's set in the middle of a large field, with the show's iconic yellow brick road winding its way through the set and a number of extras on hand to film scenes for the upcoming movie.

The "Thank U, Next" singer's sighting on Wicked's U.K. set Monday comes after director Jon M. Chu shared two stills from the upcoming two-part film adaptation of the hit Broadway musical Sunday on Instagram.

"You weren't told the whole story. What happens when you veer off the Yellow Brick Road? FIRST LOOK of the #WickedMovie … currently in production in Oz. 🌪️🫧🧹" Chu captioned the post, giving fans an official first look at Grande and Erivo, 36, in the movie.
