Rooting for Erivo

Hi all,

I’m a huge fan of Cynthia Erivo and I loved her performance in Wicked. I personally think she’s being a bit underestimated/overlooked and she put so much thought into her role. Her performance was so layered and had a beautiful nuance… you can see the pain of the character slowly stretch through the film.

She also had to master singing some of the most challenging songs live and even had to pull off Defying Gravity while flying through the air in a harness. If you watch her interviews, she’ll even talk about how much thought she put into just the ways she would sing each song as the story progressed. She did something remarkable and took such a well known character who has been out there for over 20 years and made it her own in such a brilliant way. And then the obvious … she’s extraordinarily talented.

Just wanted to make a nice clean thread on seeing if anyone else is rooting for Cynthia. Also, this is not a post to take down other nominees or anything like that. Just wanted to spread the Erivo love.
