Ariana broke the immersion in Wicked for me

I'll start by saying I think she did a perfectly good job. I thought vocals were great and she was cute. That said.. every time she was on screen there was no immersion going on. I was very much aware that it was Ariana Grande playing a character. I think there's about a million other equally talented cute little blondes who could have pulled this role off. I don't know, I really can't stand Ariana though so maybe I'm being biased.
