Cynthia Erivo Explains Why 'Wicked' Is Split Into 2 Movies


Cynthia Erivo explained that 'Wicked’ is split into 2 movies to fully explore the relationship between the wicked witch and the good witch

“What’s wonderful about the show is that you get an insight into why this woman becomes the Wicked Witch of the West, but you have only three hours to do it in,” Erivo, 37, told Entertainment Weekly in an interview published on Monday, February 12. The Emmy, Grammy and Tony winner (who is just an Oscar short of EGOT status) portrays Elphaba Thropp, a young woman with green skin who becomes The Wicked Witch of the West. Erivo and Grande attended Super Bowl LVIII together on Sunday in Las Vegas and wore custom Louis Vuitton sequin jerseys featuring the names of their characters (Elphaba and Glinda) written across their backs.
