Speaking on exotic birds the director said birds living on the set would sing when she sang and stopped when she stopped. She’s like a real life Disney princess.
This is perfect casting. And it is so special to see Cynthia earn this role. Black woman don’t often get this opportunity, they don’t often get the lead! This is Huge! And adds a new layer to Elphaba. Her and Ariana together are generational talents. Cinema is back!!!!!!
As someone who saw Wicked on my birthday (the 21st), I have to say- it’s a MUST SEE. The performances of both women had be in both absolute joy and tears.
This woman is incredible, I have loved her for years but one thing that stuck with me from her round table with other female singers was her intention to sit in her pride. She showcased this in this interview, jimmy would ask ‘you did that?’ and ‘you must be so proud?’ and she simply says YES. Such an incredible role model for women to allow yourself to feel proud and not downplay your achievements. Ergh love her love her, she deserves every part of this 🥹
That isn't any typical whistles I've heard before because she has a tone to it and it's almost like the whistle itself has a very harmonious vibe to it. And it's like a spell that she's casting because i was so spellbound by the beautiful sounds of it. I was so deeply captivated by it and when she was whistling, i saw a kaleidoscope of melted colors in my mind. It was a beautiful euphoric and ecstasy-infusing feeling 😍
@@startrekmaniac1701no they changed how she looked and it didn’t need that. She did say she may have overreacted and she’s just passionate about the character.
Cynthia is a legend, I love her voice so much and her live performances around the internet, she always does an amazing job and she's an amazing vocalist, I'd love too see her live some day.
I saw her as Delores in Sister Act on the UK tour when she was a relative unknown. She was phenomenal and I knew she’d be a big star some day. Well deserved…👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I’ve just seen Wicked and she took my breath away. I had never seen her in anything before but she is incredibly talented. I cried so much in Wicked. Cynthia you are so gorgeous! 💚
Have had the pleasure of seeing THE Cynthia Erivo live and WOW, the entire theatre gave her a standing ovation. No one had any other word to say other than WOW 🌟 I am soooooooo lucky! 🥰
You know, she is a true artist in every art form, not just because of her whistling, which is exquisite, but the fact that she stood up from that seat to sing that belt. She loves her role as alphabet and will always show her that respect. It’s a beautiful thing to see. Mad respect.
We need to realize that we are BLESSED to be living at the same time as this woman!!!!!! If you don't know what I mean when I say "Alfie Kennedy Centre" GO WATCH IT. She is TALENT DEFINED.
im so so proud of cynthia!! i can no longer gatekeep her as one of my fave singers 😅 she deserves all the attention, the mainstream popularity!! i love that for her!! the theatre kid in me is so happy to see her shine 🎉
Mike drop! One of those actors that come along rarely. The only thing more exciting than seeing her in Wicked is the future decades of projects this amazing, talented lady has ahead of her
walking and singing is one thing; being tossed around, upside down while singing is a completely different beast. The physicality, control and stamina required!!!!!!! my oh my. This woman is a whoooosh!
I did not expect that, but it was a beautiful gift to hear! Her speaking voice is incredibly lovely and calming as well. She has a beautiful personality. I can't wait to watch Wicked with my best friend!
Jimmy has heard so many people sing but he’s literally so stunned and starstruck and awed this whole interview in a way I’ve never seen before- as he darn well should be! Hehe
I just saw Wicked last night. I don’t care for musicals but I took my mom and grandma thinking it was a movie they’d enjoy. Fucking hell I was bawling by the end of Defying Gravity. Just such an emotional powerhouse of a singer and performer.
When she said she learned the songs before she auditioned took me. That's something I would do. You have to know your craft and I respect that. Congratulations on all the success. You deserve it. And I haven't seen it yet 😢
It just never happens that they cast a super-talented but not super famous person in the lead of a movie musical. I’m very excited for this. She’s great!
Um, it literally does happen all the time, though. All throughout history. I’m not even going to bother listing them ‘cause you should know better if you think you know musicals. One of the most notorious examples was polarizing to the loyal fans, and it was not generally received well, even though cast-wise it should have been flawless, and on paper they got what they wanted. Another good example starred someone who eventually became a massive Hollywood icon, though she was totally unknown at the time.
@@jeffbabies7428as it turns out. You can be a person who "knows musicals" and not know everything under the goddamn sun. Just food for thought. Not everyone that "loves" something needs to suck its asshole and know "everything". Shocking, I know.
NOTHING COULD HAVE PREPARED ME FOR THAT IT WAS ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE THE MOST BEAUTIFUL WHISTLE IVE EVER HEARD
Right?? What the heck!
I agree she is absolutely incredible
This woman is amazing. And why is nobody talking about those picture perfect legs!!!
the whistling was so beautiful she sounds like one of those exotic birds😭
Because she IS an exotic bird

She whistles like the birds from Snow White. Fantastic!
Which was done by actual people also. It was farrrr more common back then.
HER NAILS, HER FITS, HER MAKEUP EATS EVERY TIMEEEE
The nails are awful.
She looks revolting
Her whistle must be what disney princesses wake up to every morning
Let’s not forget she was a fairy princess in Pinocchio!

He's a total theater and live performance nerd haha
He wants to screw 😂
I don’t even really like him that much but when he was as excited as me about this it was so endearing. Cynthia is the hero we need but don’t deserve.
I know! I’ve seen him be excited and enthusiastic, but this is just delight and giddiness
Literal full body chills throughout this entire interview. I have quickly became such a huge Cynthia fan. I cannot wait to watch this movie!

When she stood up to sing I was like "Oh baby she is that girl!"

The first time I saw Cynthia was in Harriet. After the film I discovered that she was a singer. I became a fan. The best singer today.
OOOHHH MYYY GOODNESS THAT BATTLE CRY BROUGHT TEARS TOO MY SOUL!!!! I JUST WISHING SHE COULD HAVE HELD IT LONGERRRR TO SOUR BEYOND GRAVITY!
Cynthia saying she and Ari sang For Good is making me more excited for next year as For Good is my fave song in the musical
For as long as I can remember, I have detested whistling. I could listen to her do that whistling all day.
the whistles is giving Snow White❄️❄️
She’s so calm and shy omg I love her
