With the final season of Victorious underway, fans are bracing themselves for the end of their beloved show. But they’ll still have plenty of chances to see one of their favorite Hollywood Arts High students in action – Ariana Grande.
The actress has lots of exciting projects in the works and talked exclusively with Celebrity Teen Scoop about life after Victorious. For starters, she’ll be appearing onstage in Pasadena Playhouse’s production of Snow White Christmas with Neil Patrick Harris, and she’s busy at work on her new Nickelodeon show Sam & Cat with iCarly‘s Jennette McCurdy. Proving once again that there is life after ‘high school’!
Celebrity Teen Scoop: Tell us about your role as Snow White in A Snow White Christmas. What is it like playing the lead role?
Ariana: We haven’t begun the performances yet, but I am really excited to be doing live theater again! I think it is going to be an amazing experience. The show is very different; it is a Panto, which is a modern interpretation that is very interactive. I am very excited about it.CTS: What is your favorite part about doing live theater?
Ariana: Getting to interact with the audience and feel their energy, and knowing that you can’t go back to try something over again is very exciting.CTS: What was it like working with Neil Patrick Harris?

Ariana: Horrible, because I don’t want it to end! However, I am very happy that we are going out with a bang, as we have three Emmy nominations! It is ending in a positive way, and we are ending on our greatest season. The best is yet to air! It is still devastating and heartbreaking, and none of us are ready for it to end.CTS: What are you going to miss most about working on Victorious?
Ariana: The people for sure…they are my best friends and family.CTS: Any words of advice for young aspiring actors out there?

We were going to put this on Stoop but then we realized we were missing Matty. Besides he would’ve had trouble answering these questions because they were strictly Liz & Ari questions. Hope you enjoy & comment below with your questions. Think outside the box. Creative, personal, non-work related questions are preferred.
Love you!!!

The official promo for upcoming Victorious episode Tori Fixes Beck & Jade has been released. Ariana is not in the promo video, but she will have a subplot in the episode! This episode will air on December 1st at 8pm.
Beck is hesitant to ask out a new girl because of Jade, so Tori and Andre try to find Jade a date as well. Elsewhere, Robbie attempts to dislodge a butterfly from Cat’s ear.
Jade and I did the best we could trying to get Cat NOT to use her phone. We even put her on a leash. Guess it’s true Cats don’t like to be on leashes
