VCynthia Erivo said that rather than publicly criticizing the “offensive” fan-made “wicked” poster, she “probably should’ve called” her friends.

 

Cynthia stated that it was “a human moment of wanting to protect Elphaba” and that “it’s fine, even though I probably should’ve called my friends.”

Ariana Grande, who plays Glinda alongside Cynthia in Wicked, previously spoke about the “complicated” scenario on October 19 at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures’ 4th Annual Gala.

In church, a little orphan prays for his mother to come get him. He then hears a voice say, “I’ll take you.”

After taking his mother to an assisted living facility, a son sometimes paid her a visit.
