Cynthia
Erivo
is
green
with
passion
for
Wicked.
That
is
why
the
Tony
Award
winner—who
portrays
Elphaba
in
the
film
alongside
Ariana
Grande’s
Glinda
the
Good
Witch—didn’t
hold
back
when
she
recently
criticized
an
edit
of
the
movie
poster
that
had
been
tweaked
to
more
closely
resemble
the
Broadway
show’s
art.
“It
wasn’t
necessarily
a
clapback,”
Cynthia
told
Entertainment
Tonight
Oct.
28
on
the
red
carpet
of
the
CFDA
Fashion
Awards.
“I
think
I’m
really
protective
of
the
role.
I
am
passionate
about
it
and
I
know
that
the
fans
are
passionate
about
it,
and
I
think
for
me
it
was
just
a
human
moment
of
wanting
to
protect
little
Elphaba.”
And
while
she
knows
she
caused
a
stir
with
her
social
media
remarks,
she
stands
by
what
she
said.
Laughing,
she
added,
“I
probably
should
have
called
my
friends,
but
it’s
fine.”
Earlier
this
month,
upon
the
release
of
Wicked’s
movie
poster,
a
fan
made
some
edits
to
obscure
Cynthia’s
eyes
like
in
the
stage
show’s
poster.
To
which,
she
posted
a
strong,
heartfelt
response
to
social
media.
