Cynthia Erivo Loses Voice, Skips Wicked Premiere Interviews
Cynthia Erivo lost her voice and Ariana Grande skipped interviews in solidarity at the Wicked: For Good premiere, which is set to release on Nov. 21.
- On Monday night, Nov. 17, Universal representatives informed media that Cynthia Erivo was not feeling well and had lost her voice, so she and Ariana Grande skipped red-carpet interviews at Lincoln Center, New York City.
- Earlier in the press run, Grande missed the São Paulo, Brazil premiere due to airplane mechanical issues, and last week at the Singapore premiere, Erivo pushed a man who jumped barricades off Grande.
- At the Lincoln Center carpet, Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo posed for photos and made at least one arm-in-arm stop, also speaking briefly on the premiere livestream to Justin Sylvester, with Grande noting 'She's throat-coating, we're nourishing the throat.'
- With the film due Nov. 21, the absence narrows promotional access for a franchise that earned more than $746 million and received 10 Oscar nominations.
- Marking their final New York City premiere on Nov. 17, Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande celebrated their close friendship, highlighted by matching 'For Good' tattoos from Nov. 1 and years of collaboration.
