As someone who has been following the entertainment industry for quite some time now, I must admit that I find the emotional outbursts of Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo during the Wicked press tour rather endearing. While the internet may find humor in their tears, as a fan, I can’t help but empathize with their intense bonding process and the deep emotional investment they have in their characters.
In the realm of entertainment, films adapted from musicals have proven to be a reliable subcategory, with several movie musicals receiving the prestigious Best Picture award at the Oscars. The newest entrant in this category is none other than Wicked, which has been raking in impressive box office numbers. The team behind the film has been quite busy with promotional activities, but what’s interesting is why Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande often appear emotional at Wicked events? It seems Ethan Slater may have an explanation for this.
The principal cast of “Wicked” is spearheaded by Grande and Erivo, who have been actively promoting the movie for quite some time. In several widely shared interviews, these two have been seen emotional as they talked about their relationship and the significance of this project to them. Ethan Slater, Grande’s partner and also the actor playing Boq in the film, recently mentioned on “Today” that the leading ladies are remarkably self-aware.
They’re quite amusing. It seems as though they’ve had a busy day with interviews (junkets), yet still express feelings of frequent tears. Some might find it tiresome, but I believe it stems from an authentic emotion.
Despite some online humor about Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo’s emotional reactions during Wicked interviews, it appears that they are conscious of their tears. However, press tours are known to be lengthy and challenging aspects of film production, so isn’t it understandable that they might become emotional at times?
Due to the internet’s unstoppable nature, both Grande and Erivo have been widely memed numerous times, largely stemming from their emotional moments during the Wicked press tour. This is particularly evident in a viral video where they were questioned about queer fans “reserving space” for the song “Defying Gravity.
During the same interview, Ethan Slater shared his viewpoint regarding the emotional intensity shown by his fellow cast members. To quote him directly:
Engaging with characters who undergo such journeys can be deeply emotive. This process has been quite lengthy and demanding. During this time, I’ve found myself forming strong connections with those I interact with.
In the U.K., the two movies titled “Wicked” were shot over a span of two years, providing ample opportunity for the cast to develop strong bonds. Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo had to delve deeply into their roles as Wicked and Elphaba respectively, as the narrative primarily focuses on their friendship. As they repeatedly explored and portrayed these characters during promotion, it’s likely that their own feelings towards those roles were stirred up.
Due to the fact that Wicked has been divided into two films, it’s astonishing that Erivo and Grande will need to embark on another media tour in 2025. One can merely speculate about the number of tears that will be shed before the second movie hits theaters next November.
