Wicked, Gregory Maguire

Cynthia Erivo for Variety. She speaks on how people were psychoanalyzing her friendship with Ariana and the misogynoir she was subjected to during the press tour for Wicked For Good:

“It’s very interesting, watching what people’s perception is versus what the reality actually is. Lots of psychologists seated at home deciding who we were, what we were going through, what we were doing and why. I think that people didn’t really believe that we were actually friends. But that’s also because people don’t know me very well. If I’m a friend, then I’m a friend. If I’m not, then I’m not.”

“I think that we haven’t really come to terms with the insidious nature of how we view Black women. And I’m sure people will read this and think, ‘Oh, for goodness’ sake, it’s not about that.’ But it is. Because that’s what was being made fun of. It was my physique; it was my shape; it was the fact that I was bald; it was about what I looked like. And because of that, there was this assumption that I was bigger than my co-star and so I had to be controlling or protecting, and that was my role. I would hazard a guess that it would not have been the same had it been the other way around.”

Now performing a one-woman version of 'Dracula' in London, Cynthia Erivo reflects on the chaos of making 'Wicked.'

My mom right next to me, probably questioning her decision to not oversee what I get in the bookstore: “…”
