Cynthia Erivo Reflects on Blasting Fan-Made Wicked Poster: 'I Probably Should Have Called My Friends'

Cynthia Erivo said she had "a human moment of wanting to protect little Elphaba" when she criticized a viral fan-edited 'Wicked' movie poster on Instagram. "I probably should have called my friends, but it's fine," she said.
