'Get Off My Girls': Moana Star Auli’i Cravalho Defends Ariana Grande And Cynthia Erivo’s Emotional Wicked Press Tour

As a lifelong theater kid myself, I completely empathize with Cynthia Erivo, Ariana Grande, and Auli’i Cravalho. The passion they exhibit for their work is nothing short of inspiring. If anything, it’s a testament to the deep-seated emotions that we all harbor when we pour our hearts into a project.


This weekend, “Wicked” and “Moana 2” will face off at the box office, but it’s important to note that this doesn’t imply any tension between the actors from these films. Despite some criticism over what seems excessive emotion during their press tour, Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande have each other’s support. Auli’i Cravalho, on the other hand, is asking everyone to step back and allow them to continue without further disturbance.

Despite “Wicked” being a blockbuster success, both the audience and its stars have been garnering attention not only for the movie but also for their intense enthusiasm towards it. Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande haven’t been maintaining a low profile when it comes to the film’s launch. Cravalho, in an interview with Vanity Fair, suggests that people should be understanding because this is simply the nature of theater enthusiasts. She elaborated on…

I’d like you all to empathize with the experience of being a theater kid. Being a theater kid is deeply emotional. Please, let’s show appreciation towards Ariana and Cynthia instead of criticizing them. It’s not easy to work on a film for such an extended period, this one is nearly three hours long. If you can’t relate to shedding tears after working with someone for that duration, especially if both are theater kids and performing live…I feel quite strongly about this subject.

It’s quite possible that Cravalho has a good understanding of the emotions that Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande are experiencing at the moment, as she views them as fellow travelers. Interestingly enough, the viewpoint of these two “Wicked” stars may differ from ours since they have already filmed not one but two movies. Although we won’t be able to watch “Wicked: Part Two” for another year, for them, the work has probably been completed, which means they have invested twice as much effort into this project compared to us.

A skilled artist, in their heart of hearts, is bound to feel a touch of emotion upon receiving a favorable response for their craft, and that’s exactly what Erivo and Grande are experiencing. Anyone who has been part of the theater scene or has known someone who was, can relate to the heightened emotions that come with finally sharing one’s work with an audience.

The response to the movie “Wicked” goes beyond just the actors. Audiences have been known to burst into song in the theater during the film, which is unusual behavior, and there’s a rising trend of people recording movie scenes on their phones. Regardless of one’s opinion on this behavior, it demonstrates that the audience simply can’t resist getting involved. “Wicked” is predicted to be among the top-earning films of 2024, and discussions about Erivo and Grande’s award potential have already begun.

Regardless of which film emerges victorious at the weekend box office during the holidays, it’s safe to say that the young talent behind both “Wicked” and “Moana 2” have already secured their wins. Both films are expected to perform well, with “Wicked” likely dominating the holiday season. However, no matter what the outcome, these three productions can take pride in their outstanding work. If they show a little emotion over their achievements, it’s perfectly understandable.
