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!
