#if you thought i was an annoying cynthia erivo stan before… you haven’t seen any of it

funny that before watching the wicked movie i thought cynthia might not be well suited to play elphaba because i see her as a much more mature, interesting artist whereas the wicked soundtrack and elphaba’s vocals felt a little juvenile for her based on other interpretations of elphaba but now i feel the exact opposite: the maturity in cynthia’s vocal choices is exactly what elphaba’s character needed. cynthia’s interpretation brought her some much needed gravitas that i now feel other elphabas lack. she didn’t just make her own version of elphaba - she 100% elevated the character to places it hadn’t been taken before. and i adore for her it
