This nomination is among several accolades Ariana earned for her performance as Glinda. Despite the obvious Oscar snub of Wicked: For Good, Ariana and co-star Cynthia Erivo still enjoyed critical acclaim for their work as the iconic Oz duo.

However, according to PEOPLE, despite her nomination, Ariana is too busy with rehearsals for her upcoming Eternal Sunshine tour. The singer is set to officially kick off the tour in June. And it might be her last one for a while. She mentioned that another tour might not happen for a “long, long, long, long time.”

She’ll soon be focusing on more acting roles, both on the movie screen and on the stage. She’s set to star in the Ben Stiller Focker In-Law comedy, a sequel to his famous Meet the Parents franchise. She’s also going to star with beloved Wicked co-star Jonathan Bailey in the revival of Sunday in the Park with George. The show will be premiering in London.

For now though, Ariana focusing on the tour, which will prevent her from joining the other celebrities at the Shrine Auditorium & Expo Hall in Los Angeles on Sunday, March 1. The Actor’s Awards will be aired on Netflix and hosted by Kristen Bell.

Wicked: For Good will be streaming on Peacock this March.
