Elphaba may sing about how she is "not that girl" but Cynthia Erivo IS that girl! Okay?! And she's also the guest this week on Las Cultch! The magnificent hyper-talent joins Matt & Bow to discuss auditioning for Wicked, crafting her Elphaba and ultimately letting her go. Also, running towards portraying some of the most iconic people and characters in history (Aretha Franklin! Celie! Harriet Tubman!), running in general, and a moment of appreciation for the color green. All this, how Ariana Grande has helped Cynthia find her voice as a recording artist, the responsibility and magic of singing at The Kennedy Center, the importance of listening to lyrics, the oppression of onion and garlic, and continued angst about the lack of availability of British snacks in America. Wicked hits theaters November 22nd and Cynthia is spectacular in it. OOOHHHAAAAHHHAAAAAHHHAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!

Forget the Oscar and EGOT, give her a NOBEL PEACE PRIZE 😭
Yes, I wholeheartedly agree ❤
I really appreciate Bowen giving Matt the space to connect with Cynthia and Ariana - obviously these are people that Bowen has worked with and known for years now, so it's special to give Matt the opportunity to connect and have a moment with them. Arguably the emotional peaks of both interviews have been fostered by Matt. Great work girls!!
I came to say the same thing! It really made it special that Bowen did that and Matt also was so genuine to want to connect with them and had the opportunities to do so!
You mean Matt talks too much?
@@J1mmyMack not at all
Couldn't have put it better 💜
I thought this too!!!!❤0
her perspective of elphaba just changed how i grew up viewing the character. it makes soooo much sense that elphaba is not this always angry and miserable girl cuz she grew up having people giving her the look, insulting her and everything. cynthia is very detailed
Watching Matt beaming while Cynthia compliments Bowen is such a lovely reflection of their friendship.
Cynthia interviews are what i need right now. I need to feel my skin and radiate love.
So true.
I just cry every time I hear Cynthia´s voice, it has something that trespasses all physical layers and just makes my eyes water
THANK GOD Alfie was mentioned... like right away. What a vocal MOMENT
No literally I hear it almost daily!!!
"Its not enough that can sing, its not enough that you can act". Yeah she moved my heart with that one
I am speechless at how beautiful this conversation is, every part of it.
I get chills hearing Cynthia sing sometimes when she speaks, what a song bird💛💚
Them mentioning Cynthia’s rendition of Alfie is literally one of my favorite songs to listen to. Almost every song day
Her Elphaba is so emotionally intelligent, no, it’s a genius portrayal. I completely agree with Bowen that the inner child concept made me roll my eyes. Admittedly during my first watch, I found the inner child scene cringe. On my second watch I clearly saw little Elfie peak through her strong exterior throughout the movie. That scene made me tear up the 2nd time. I was (still am) captivated by Ariana but Cynthias performance is haunting and will probably stay with me forever
this woman is AMAZING. her voice isn't human... everytime she sings I got chills... the talent is unmesurable...
Her singing puts me on an emotional roller coaster
Omg her little giggle at the start! My heart 💗
matt and bo catching the reference and both humming the melody in the same moment is why this podcast will outlive all the rest 58:02
She knows exactly who she is and who she's here for - those that need healing and deliverance from evil. She has so many tools aka talents because her real job requires that kind of toolbox. Art is a ministry. Empathy is a ministry. She isn't in it for a paycheck. She's in it because she has to be. Her alternative careers were teacher and therapist, which she still functions as in this career. Imagine if we all knew exactly what we were supposed to be doing and who we were supposed to be doing it for.
Beautifully said
Thank you for this. You have no idea how timely it is. Continue to bless and be blessed 💖
And she still teaches! She's vice principle at The Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts back in London.
Very true. She gave us peace and healing after the collective shattering this November
I've watched Wicked four times, because of her, she is wonderful, will be one of my favorite movies ever.
YES i am uncultured and haven’t heard of cynthia unti wicked
and huge talent aside, HER STYLE IS IMMACULATE!!
the nails always eat and the fashion is just everything!!
Haha just because you didn’t hear about her doesn’t make you uncultured. It’s a massive entertainment landscape :)
@@C53Maximoff No no, let them say what they said haha they were uncultured, but they aren't anymore and that's what matters.
I IMPLORE you to go on a Cynthia Erivo rabbit hole that I did a while back lol particularly her performance of "Alfie" at the Kennedy center, her cover of "ain't no way" and of course her live performance of "stand up" at the Oscar's, (which she should have won in my opinion which would have made her an EGOT)
you need to see the clips of her whistling-singing on jimmy fallon show, it is sooooo beautiful, idk ppl can do that
@C53Maximoff I very much appreciate this comment. Everyone can't know and be aware of everything. We should be kind, like you, when people don't.
God, I'm so obsessed with her, she's so talented and regal.
''Get to the joke, before someone else does'' STORY OF MY LIFE. UGH. I can't wait to see this film!!!!!
ALSO They way I fell off my seat when Bowen said Walkers are not the same as Lays. LET THE CHURCH SAY AMEN!!!!!!
This episode was so special, same as with Ariana last week! Cynthia is so talented and I'm glad that both she and Ariana gave Bowen his props for being in the film! If she tours the album next year, will def be making my way to a show near me! The intention and care is there! Just, wow! And I loved her rendition of Alfie!
I love Cynthia Erivo with every ounce of my being. I connect, I experience, I LOVE! Thank you, Universe for the creation of what I call an earth Angel. Thank YOU, Cynthia for sharing so much of yourself, which I cannot begin to imagine is easy in any way. You’re a star ⭐️ amongst Stars ✨!
I got chills just cause they brought up alfie
Right!!!
Agree. Had to pause and went to watch it
What an absolute icon. Cannot get enough of Cynthia! Wonderful conversation, as always, boys. Mwah
1:10:15 Cynthia’s impassioned “IT’S NOT THE SAME” is me when people try say compare Chipotle tacos to authentic Mexican tacos 😅
I enjoyed the whole interview, but I gotta say it that her singing at the end it makes the whole thing worth it. I just love her.
Matt that color was MADE for you. STUN.
Couldn't be a more fitting time for this to be made and bring this legendary Broadway musical to a broader audience.
Saw her perform at the Hollywood Bowl, and she was wonderful. Thanks for featuring her on your podcast. Am a fan of the books, movies( Wizard of Oz, Wiz), and musical. Can't wait to see Wicked in the movie theater 😍
She is such….an artist… it feels deeper than “entertainment” …. Im such a fan
Hit me like a ton of yellow bricks
the power these three have together 💚
Mannnn I just love her so much. So so excited for Wicked and what else that is in store for her. I watched the interview with Ariana as well. I love both of them so much and I’m so incredibly proud of them 😭
You guys are just crushing it every week thank you so much for this podcast
both of these interviews has been so lovely 🥹 getting to see ariana and cynthia talk about the roles with so much love and care, everyone having the space to share and such deep connection and also light and fun
las culturistas is really eating with these guests!!!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Great interview! I love Cynthia Erivo so much! I will support anything she does. I'm so happy with the success she is having!
As a girlie who is also sensitive to onions and garlic… I stan this SO much! I use garlic infused olive oil and it’s helped SO much! Love you Cynthia! ❤
This was incredible, the depth and connection and flow you found for this interview is A+!!
These two parts are like our Avenger’s Infinity War/Endgame. We needed that time to sit with just how heartbreaking the end of those Part 1’s truly are. To jump straight back into everything after that heaviness would do everyone a disservice. I get now we can watch both back to back, but we need the time to fully process all of part 1 before we can even begin to broach what part 2 is going to mean. (Even if it is frustrating to see takes of people who only know the part 1 lore and none of the part 2, but we grin and bear it because the payoff will be so worth it).
My two year old son sings constantly and will sing to tell us what he wants sometimes. 😊 I can’t explain how joyous it is as a parent to hear his sweet voice all the time. It’s a gift to hear everyday. I can only imagine the memories Cynthia’s mother has. ❤
I'm literally crying I'm sooo happy for this I love her so much!!🥹🥹💚✨️
Defying gravity was soo good but the song and scene that broke me was I’m not that girl and the ballroom scene.. cry galore.
Her rendition of nothing compares I want as my walking down the aisle song 😭👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 it’s so good!!!!
The end was BEYOND 😢😢😢❤
currently obsessed w cynthia & anything wicked related
45:41 Oof!! I have had straight up
influenza like this and BABY it was terrible. By day 6 & 7 I was have the most insane dreams from trying to disassociate from my body 😅 but you come back SO grateful to be in good health again.
Found my new favorite interviewers ✅
Great Podcast!!! Can’t stop watching all episodes! Big hug from Spain !
Personal Chef here. I recently did a gig where a client could not process any alliums. Turns out this is very common for strict vegans... and Jainist use asofatida as a substitute. Cynthia if you ever need someone to cook for you I am your girl!!!
I’m obsessed with her nails, they are so cute!
Great Interview Guys! Cynthia is AMAZING AND SO TALENTED!!! PLEASE GIVE THIS WOMAN HER OSCAR!!!!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾💯💯💯💯❤️😊❤️😊❤️😊
WALKERS CRISPS! omg i was jumping up and down.
I feel like I’m winning, with green being my favorite color
This is one of my favorite interviews on Las Cultch
Music can save lives. Absolutely
Queen!! Thx for this beautiful interview!! 🩷💚 Holding space for it!
This is there Harry Potter. An epic movie that will become a classic, watched and talked about for decades. The fact it was shot at the same location as some of the Harry Potter films makes it that much better!
The “wide eyed openness” Cynthia refers to in her Wizard and I callback. I think the only time I have seen it displayed was her blue fairy performance of Pinocchio. The one song. I never even saw the remake. But rewatch her clip over and over and over on TH-cam. And I totally see that childlike wonder that keeps the audience on the edge of their seat. Mr. Chu could not have made a better pick truly.
"What a huge year for green!" lol. I agree I chose green over pink.
SO READY TO LISTEN TO THIS !! ILY CYNTHIA 🥹💚🙌🏽
Beautiful interview 👏🏾👏🏾. And Cynthia, bae-bee, is walking in her purpose and it is shining so bright! I am grateful for her continuously sharing the special gift God and universe bestowed onto her. What a special human. Thank you 🙏🏾
there hasn’t been a wicked interview I haven’t cried to… I’m gonna be a mess when I watch the film
She’s literally perfect
just a capricorn and her water signs getting along as per usual
ICON, LEGEND, UNSTOPPABLE, OMG
I can't wait for her album!!! She's one of the best vocalists alive right now and I was so disappointed when I listened to her first album because I felt like it never really captured the magic in her voice. Now since she mentioned Aretha and RnB, I'm hoping it'll connect to me this time.
Let the Wicked Witches of the West film! 😂
Amazing interview!!! Can someone please help a girl out and tell me what style of gold earrings Cynthia is wearing cause those are a need right about now. What a stunning human!!!!
Oh my… So moving to be in on this heartfelt conversation.
At 49:45, get up and give this person a hug!!
she’s so incredible, love love loved the movie, great interview love the pod
Cynthia is such an inspiration 💚🤎💛thank you for sharing your heart and talent with us
EXCUSE ME but I have JUST clicked pause at the end of NORA FROM QUEENS S1 E9 "Launch Party" where not only did Matt Rogers have a guest spot, but Bowen is a regular (semi-regular?) and the show ENDED with Bowen NAILING the last note of "Defying Gravity" at the end of Wicked Act I, theater version, because the show aired on Comedy Central in 2020. And when I say NAILED, I mean I knew what he was doing midnote because it was 100% recognizable. So BIG UPS for THAT!!👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Can’t get behind the Ginger slander but I simply love this woman. 💚
Cynthia has to be nominated for Oscar if not win it.😊
Cynthia is such an amazing person and incredible talent, love her with all my heart, extremely happy for everything she's achieving
Cynthia not being able to do defying gravity because of the strike and then finally coming back and getting taken out by the flu must have been awful.
She is so Amazing what an artist ! actress a singer just pure talent ! Master piece ! from her and from Arianna ❤ Wicked ❤❤❤ in love with Wicked
I'm sorry everyone please shut up for a second. THIS JACKET IS EVERYTHIIIIIIIIIING!!!!! Please continue your viewing experience.
I could NEVA give up my garlic 😂😅
we get an interview with BOTH!? the best day.
love cynthia!!
Okay I love Matt’s passion for this film but I feel like he’s spoiling the viewing experience for the rest of us by talking about all the best scenes/lines/songs/moments!! 🥲
Love this month of wicked guests!!!!!
Love love LOVEEE Cynthia
When she sang Annie Lennox!!!
Ugh love her 💚💚💚
That’s wild that Matt and Bowen’s friends didn’t know what Juno is about. You don’t even to know the movie to know what it’s about.
If Cynthia Erivo has a million fans, I’m one of them. If Cynthia Erivo has ten fans, I’m one of them. If Cynthia Erivo has one fan that one is me. If Cynthia Erivo has no fans, then I’m no longer alive. If the world is against Cynthia Erivo, then I’m against the world.
For Bowen: The fairway market on 23rd and 6th has some Walkers! Enjoy🥳
what a gift
I love Wicked, so I am totally bias and cuckoo, I would watch a part 3!!! Or just release all the unreleased footage!!!
I cant wait for the new album
When I say I love this interview these guys just overall the full on interview itself . I’m surprised when Bowen spoke on the Capricorn space and I’m like omg I think that’s why I’m the way I am precise
@59:36 I am manifesting Storm in live action X-men
The Menier Chocolate factory (The West End Colour Purple venue) is a small but hugely respected venue, so we all knew the production was going to be a special one. I much prefer to go to smaller venues. I think you get so much out of the experience when you can see the actor's eyes.
that was the best !
MISS CYNTHIA U ARE WONDERFUL!!!
OH HOW I LOVE HER
i gasped so loud oh my god
