Auli’i Cravalho has no patience for those who make fun of Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo‘s emotional Wicked press tour.
“Being a theater kid is emotional. I need people to understand what it’s like to be a theater kid.Get off my girls Ariana and Cynthia’s backs. Do you understand me? You don’t know what it’s like to be working on a film for this long. The film is two hours and 40 minutes long. If you’re not crying after working with someone for that long, and you’re both theater kids and you’re singing live…I am very passionate about this.”
Many online called attention to the emotional answers from the show’s two stars, teasing the actresses for constant waterworks and dramatic proclamations about their experience making the film.
Someone predicted 5 years ago the casting for ‘Wicked’
Cynthia Erivo for Elphaba. Ariana for Galinda. You’re welcome. https://t.co/BCbjfwLNaz
