"I think Idina and I had our moment, and it was a beautiful moment," she said on the 78th Tony Awards red carpet, according to E! News.
"I love it," she added, "It's coming home. I'm seeing all my friends, it's your people happy."

"Oh my gosh, I just saw the movie and I'm dying," Kristin said in an Instagram post in November, shortly after the first Wicked film hit theaters. "I'm deceased, I'm actually dead, I'm not here, " as per the outlet.
"The story is so wonderful, and Cynthia and Ariana are amazing," she continued. "Jon Chu nailed it. I was so moved, emotional, happy, filled with joy. Please, everybody, go see Wicked, you'll be blessed."
Ariana also feels the same about Kristin.
"I learned everything I know from watching this woman," Ariana said of Kristin, adding, "When we were doing Hairspray Live, you would pitch a joke, or like, a melody change here and there, and ask, 'Does this add value?' As a performer, to me, that changed my life entirely," according to E! News. (ANI)
