Pro Shot: Cynthia Erivo sits down with Oscar Winning Moderator Da’Vine Joy Randolph for a powerful, thoughtful Q&A unpacking the craft, discipline, and responsibility behind her transformative performance as Elphaba.
Cynthia speaks candidly about shaping Elphaba into a deeply complex character, the immense challenge of shooting both Wicked films simultaneously, and the rigorous preparation that grounded her throughout production. She reflects on redefining beauty in Wicked: For Good, collaborating closely with director Jon M. Chu, and carving out a version of Elphaba that is uniquely her own.
The conversation culminates in Cynthia opening up about the weight and honor of portraying Elphaba as a Black woman — and how the role has permanently expanded her artistic tools moving forward.
