On Victorious, Cat Valentine and Jade West did not always get along. However, 15 years after Ariana Grande and Elizabeth Gillies started playing frenemies, they are still the best of friends.
So much so that they had a wicked reunion when the Oscar nominee came out to see Gillies as Audrey in the Broadway production of Little Shop of Horrors.
This isn’t the first time the two of them have been in a Broadway theater together. They both starred in the stage version of Thirteen before they worked on the Dan Schneider teen sitcom.
Grande is not the only Victorious co-star to support Gillies. Avan Jogia, Daniella Monet, and Matt Bennett also stopped by to sing along with her.
Talking about singing, Grande sang (my favorite version of) Suddenly Seymour with Seth MacFarlane on Carpool Karaoke in 2017.
Elizabeth Gillies is one of the success stories from Hollywood Arts, so much so that she is starring in Little Shop of Horrors on Off-Broadway.
In honor of the musical’s opening night, her Victorious co-stars Avan Jogia and Daniella Monet came out to support her!
So, if you ever wondered if Jade and Beck’s relationship would have survived past high school, it looks like the answer is yes! That would make me happy because they were such a cute couple on the sitcom.
Gillies is not the only one who has something to promote. Jogie has a new book out, Autopsy (of an Ex-Teen Heartthrob), which is partially about his time on Victorious. When it comes to Monet, she might be returning to Hollywood Arts with her own spinoff.
BTW I wonder whatever happened to the actress who played Cat Valentine?
Before Elizabeth Gillies was starring in Little Shop of Horrors on Off-Broadway, she starred in 13 on Broadway. Even at just 15 years old, she was a powerhouse in that 2008 performance.
Yesterday, Ariana Grande hosted Saturday Night Live eight years after the first time she did it. And she was not alone off camera. The actress had a high school friend there to support her, and together, they were Victorious.
Who was it? Jade, I mean, Elizabeth Gillies! Even though Jade was a little tough on Cat, in real life, Gillies is always there for her friend. And I am here for it.
Personally, I wish that it had been Jade and Cat, not Sam and Cat, as the spinoff we got. They were my favorites on Victorious, and imagine the duets they could have sung together.
When it comes to Ariana hosting, the show sucked, but she nailed the shit they gave her to do, especially castrated Antonio. Grande and Gillies are both underrated for their acting.
