Wicked News: Hot on the Heels of Kristin Chenoweth and Ariana Grande on The Voice, Cynthia Erivo to Star in Wicked Movie
Ariana Grande's Wicked Stint on The Voice Not Enough, Will Cynthia Erivo Match the Star Power?
Cynthia Erivo, who most notably starred in The Color Purple and Harriet, has been cast in the upcoming 2024 Wicked film adaptation as Elphaba, the Wicked Witch of the West.
Will Erivo's Star Power Match Ariana Grande's Wicked Stint on The Voice?
The news of Cynthia Erivo's casting in Wicked comes shortly after Ariana Grande joined The Voice as a coach. Fans were excited to see Grande bring her unique style and vocal prowess to the popular singing competition show, but some were left wondering if she would be able to match the star power of Kristin Chenoweth, who originated the role of Glinda the Good Witch on Broadway.
Cynthia Erivo certainly has the vocal chops and acting ability to match Ariana Grande's performance of "The Wizard and I" on The Voice. Her performance in the 2015 revival of The Color Purple earned her a Tony Award for Best Actress in a Musical. She also received an Oscar nomination for her role in the 2019 film adaptation of Harriet.
While Erivo's casting is certainly exciting, it remains to be seen if she will be able to match the star power of Ariana Grande. Grande has a massive following on social media and is one of the most popular singers in the world. Her appearance on The Voice has undoubtedly brought new attention to the show and the Wicked franchise.
Only time will tell if Cynthia Erivo will be able to match the star power of Ariana Grande in the upcoming Wicked movie. However, one thing is for sure: she has the talent and the experience to give a memorable performance as Elphaba, the Wicked Witch of the West.
