I don’t know if you know this, but Cynthia Erivo is not green like her character Elphaba from Wicked. Therefore, it took a lot to make her appear that way. The movie shared a video of her sitting in the makeup chair, going from the woman we know to the witch she became.
After watching that, I am not green with envy with all of the things she had to go through in that process.
If you have not seen Wicked, what are you waiting for?
In case you haven’t heard, Cynthia Erivo is playing Elphaba, the Wicked Witch of the West, in the spectacular movie musical Wicked, which comes out on Friday! And if you didn’t know, Elphaba is green.
Over the last few months, Universal has been doing a media blitz for the film, which feels like an old-school event in so many different ways.
Today, in my opinion, the most brilliant promotion for the feature was revealed. Cynthia Erivo took the Yellow Brick Road to Sesame Street and sang It’s Not Easy Bein’ Green with Oscar the Grouch! And he even had to smile when he heard her angelic voice sing the updated lyrics to Kermit the Frogs song!
You know a movie is going to be huge when Jeopardy gives it its own category before it comes out. Therefore, Wicked is going to be defying gravity in theaters!
That is because Cynthia Erivo, Ariana Grande, John M. Chu, and Jeff Goldblum all asked the contestants five questions witch, I am which, are related to their magical event.
Were the contestants Perfect with their answers, or is Wicked not Popular for that?
Watch and find out.
And for Christmas, Variety reposts that you will be able to watch a sing-along version of the musical in theaters.
By then, you will probably have seen this masterpiece so many times that you will not need the words on the screen to know every word to all of the songs.
The first full trailer is out for Wicked, and it looks like it is going to be a theatrical event!
The musical, starring Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo as Glinda and Elphaba, feels like the type of movie you have to see at the movies to truly experience the epic adventure in the land of Oz.
Will the film be enough to get people’s butt back in the movie theater seats? We will find out this Thanksgiving.
How do I think it looks? As they say in Boston, “Wicked!”
Wicked won’t be out until Thanksgiving 2024. However, director John M. Chu couldn’t wait to share two photos from his movie. So today, we got to see Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo as Glinda and Elphaba. And I think this movie is going to be Popular!
