Cynthia Erivo celebrates the release of the Wicked musical adaptation by sharing heartfelt tributes to her collaborators, including Ariana Grande and director Jon M. Chu. In a post on Instagram, Erivo expressed gratitude for the experience and the lessons learned during the making of the movie. She thanked her character, Elphaba, and praised Grande for her kindness and authenticity. The bond between Erivo and Grande grew stronger while filming in London in 2022. Grande, in an interview with The New York Times, credited Erivo for helping her become more truthful and self-aware. Erivo, on the other hand, acknowledged the impact Grande had on her life and music career, inspiring her to believe in her dreams. The movie has been split into two parts to allow for a deeper exploration of the characters, something Erivo appreciates as it provides more insight into the story. The release of Wicked was highly anticipated, and Erivo’s touching tributes to her colleagues have only added to the excitement surrounding the film.
