Wicked star Cynthia Erivo SLAMS ‘offensive’ fan-made film posters and memes: ‘It degrades me’
As a longtime fan of Broadway and pop music, I was absolutely thrilled to see Ariana Grande making her debut as Glinda the Good Witch in the upcoming film adaptation of “Wicked.” Her performance looked enchanting and effortless, much like her singing career.
As a lifestyle expert, I can’t help but express my feelings about the recent edited Wicked poster that features myself alongside Ariana Grande. To put it mildly, I find this version to be absolutely wild and deeply offensive in its portrayal of our beloved characters. The artistic choices made seem to stray far from the original essence of the story, and I can’t help but feel a disconnect between what we as actors intended to convey and what has been presented here.
On Wednesday, the actress, aged 37, shared on her Instagram Story a revised image of the freshly revealed poster for her upcoming movie – a modern adaptation based on the stage production.
She wrote: ‘This is the wildest, most offensive thig I have seen.’
Cynthia elaborated by likening it to the queries she’s received about her green complexion in the movie.
She continued: ‘None of this is funny. None of it is cute. It degrades me. It degrades us.
The initial post is a DRAWING. On the other hand, I am a REAL PERSON, gazing directly into the lens of the camera at you, the audience, as a means of communication, for even without spoken words, the human eye can convey messages effectively.
As a connoisseur of all things artsy, let me share some insights I picked up recently. In discussing the two interpretations of this beloved musical, the gifted performer highlighted the unique aspects that distinguish the original score from its theatrical adaptation.
She stated, “Our poster is a tribute, not a copy,” preceding her comment, “To alter my features and conceal my eyes is like obliterating me. That’s incredibly painful…
A few days ago, the well-known pair made an attempt at replicating the famous 2003 poster from the initial San Francisco stage performance of Wicked, intended for Jon M. Chu’s forthcoming film version. This endeavor left enthusiasts of the Broadway musical feeling disappointed.
As a lifestyle enthusiast, I’d like to highlight an intriguing fashion moment from a recent event. Instead of donning a white hood, the 31-year-old pop sensation hailing from Florida opted for a striking crown. On the other hand, the 37-year-old British-Nigerian starlet accentuated her expressive eyes and eschewed a smirk, sporting bold red lipstick to complete her look.
The user @schlife expressed disbelief that it took them so long to create the poster, and added that they messed it up quite badly.
User @Sweeney_Daily asked, “What makes the poster’s subtle smile so distinctive? Why does she appear without an expressive emoji?
User @strstyler posted on Twitter: “Couldn’t they have added red lipstick, lowered a hat to cover her eyes, and given her a little smirk? It seems like she is [turned into a still from a humorously expressionless meme].
A user on Picsart shared a revised take on the Wicked poster, tagged with the comment: “I’ve given it a try, hopefully, you find it useful!
Ariana excitedly shared on Instagram: “I can’t help but boast about the fantastic new poster, @cynthiaerivo! I can hardly wait for everyone to witness your incredible brilliance in this project. Just saying, I adore you – let’s do this!
Cynthia, who is just one award away from achieving EGOT status, responded on Instagram: “@arianagrande What a special moment! It’s amazing we get to share this experience. I can’t wait for people to be amazed by you and your heartfelt love for Glinda (and Elphaba too). The time has come. I’m here to support you. I care for you deeply.
In the musical Wicked, played by Grande (formerly known as Butera) and Erivo, we find the characters Glinda Upland and Elphaba Thropp, who are roommates at Shiz University. Tickets for the initial segment of the production have been made available starting Wednesday, with the premiere set for November 27th.
Twice Grammy-winning artist had a notorious encounter with her boyfriend Ethan Slater (portraying Boq, later the Tin Man), during the filming of Wicked in London. Part two of the production won’t be released until November 26, 2025.
In addition to the main cast, actors such as Jeff Goldblum, Michelle Yeoh, Jonathan Bailey, Marissa Bode, Bowen Yang, Bronwyn James, Keala Settle, and Peter Dinklage will also be seen in this eagerly awaited, two-part fantasy movie.
On Wednesday, music enthusiasts have the opportunity to place a pre-order for Wicked: The Soundtrack, which includes all 11 tracks from act one, before its scheduled debut on November 22.
As a lifestyle enthusiast, I’m thrilled to share some exciting news! On Wednesday, NBC unveiled a sneak peek at Ariana Grande’s second stint as the host of Saturday Night Live. In this promo, she playfully requested the team: “I’d much rather steer clear of anything related to ‘Wicked’ or ‘The Wizard of Oz’ this time around.
Next, the camera focused on SNL’s cast members Devon Walker, Michael Longfellow, Marcello Hernández, and Andrew Dismukes, all donning budget-friendly costumes reminiscent of The Lion, Dorothy Gale, Scarecrow, and Tin Man.
‘May we come back in one hour?’ Dismukes asked.
Grande replied: ‘Sure.’
