\t\t<\/p>\n Cynthia Erivo<\/strong><\/a>\u2018s creative choices in Wicked<\/strong><\/a><\/em> have surely paid off. <\/p>\n If you didn\u2019t know, Wicked: Part 1<\/em> ends with Elphaba singing \u201cDefying Gravity,\u201d a song that ends with an iconic battle-cry note. However, in Cynthia<\/strong>\u2018s film version, she decided to revamp the signature note with a unique riff. <\/p>\n Recently, 38-year-old singer and actress talked about how making the moment her own impacted fan response to the film. <\/p>\n \u201cIt has completely changed my life. One, because people sing it to me randomly in the street when I\u2019m going, when I\u2019m leaving somewhere. If I\u2019m signing or like I\u2019m talking to people, I will often hear it just as I\u2019m leaving. So someone will do it as I walk away. But like, who knew that people would fall in love with that?\u201d Cynthia<\/strong> said while on \u201cSiriusXM\u2019s Sway in the Morning.\u201d<\/p>\n Keep reading to find out more\u2026<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n She also gave details on why she chose to sing the note differently from the original Broadway version. <\/p>\n \u201cWith that note, with how it sung because it really, at first I wanted to do it like the original. And when I did the musical director and the composer were like, \u2018Okay, great. Now what\u2019s your version?\u2019 And when that version sort of happened and it was a natural thing. I just tried something and that felt really good. That has sort of reverberated,\u201d she explained. <\/p>\n \u201cI keep hearing it in different places. People keep doing it. There was a challenge on it. I had no idea that it would do that. And that song would do that. That people would connect to the song in that way. And I love that people keep trying to do this note, it\u2019s kind of wonderful,\u201d she added. <\/p>\n If you didn\u2019t see, last month, Cynthia<\/strong> gave details about her physical transformation to play Elphaba<\/a>. <\/p>\n \n
