Dancing through lies.

The rumor about Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo’s “Wicked” salaries has been cleared up.

It was reported online that 31-year-old Grande was paid $15 million for the role of Glinda, the good witch, in the two-part movie musical, while 37-year-old Erivo was paid just $1 million for the role of Elphaba, the Wicked Witch of the West.

However, Universal Pictures on Tuesday disputed the alleged $14 million salary difference.

“Reports of pay discrepancies between Cynthia and Ariana are completely false and based on internet material,” a spokesperson for the film studio said in a statement to The Hollywood Reporter.

“The women received equal pay for their work on ‘Wicked,'” they added.

Universal did not disclose how much the couple was paid for the film.

The Post has reached out to representatives for Grande and Erivo for comment.

Multiple media outlets reported that Grande earned more than anyone else in the Wicked cast — despite having less screen time than Erivo.

Even more surprising were claims that supporting actors received higher salaries than Erivo for their smaller roles: rumor had it that Michelle Yeoh and Jeff Goldblum were each paid $2 million for portraying Madame Morrible and the Wizard of Oz.

Bridgerton star Jonathan Bailey was reportedly paid $450,000 for the role of love interest actor Fiyero.

“Wicked” is already a box office hit worldwide. In its first five days in theaters, the film grossed over $162 million worldwide.

In the United States, the film achieved the biggest box office success for a musical adaptation in history, grossing $114 million on its opening weekend.

Directed by Jon M. Chu, the film had a budget of around $150 million.

The sequel “Wicked Part Two” with the same cast will hit theaters on November 21, 2025.

Grande and Erivo were cast in the lead roles in 2021 after a lengthy audition process.

“I felt a little bit of initial nervousness or kind of a preconceived notion about what I could or couldn’t deliver, or why I would be wrong or whatever,” Grande said of playing Glinda on the “Sentimental Men” podcast earlier this month .

The Grammy winner added that she understands if fans are concerned about her casting given her pop star background.

“I probably would have said the same thing. I probably would have said, “Why the hell?” Kill me. I’ve waited 20 years for this. Kill me.’ I would have said – as an outside fan who probably only knows ‘7 Rings’ – I would have said, ‘Well, that’s bullshit.’ So, you know, I get it,” she said.

Meanwhile, in a recent interview with Variety, Erivo shared that as a black woman, she has always connected to Elphaba’s story as an outsider.

“I feel like I’ve been given this incredible gift of a character whose raison d’etre is to show that all the differences make you special,” Erivo explained. “That you can exceed all expectations, that you can be anything you are meant to be, and that the search for that can be hard, but when it happens it can be really liberating and really beautiful.”

Chu, 45, has always advocated for Erivo and Grande to be cast in the film.

“They read with different people, but in the end it was very obvious that she was Elphaba and Glinda,” he recently told Entertainment Weekly.

“I didn’t know they would work. I didn’t know if they would like each other,” he added. “I had no idea about the actual personalities, but I knew they were suitable for these roles.”
