Ariana Grande, Cynthia Erivo, Idina Menzel & Kristin Chenoweth Talk About Their 'Wicked' Legacy

[@mooneymystique]

i know people are making fun of them crying but as an artist who is immensely passionate about her work, i love seeing their emotions. it shows how much they care about one another and also their roles.💌

[@jackiekafu]

Tbh same. Also you can tell this project took 100% on everyone who was involved. I imagine a big part of the emotions is also just being exhausted in the best way, relieved, happy, all the things.

[@FlowerMorgan]

agree!

[@rgplazo]

If you watched the movie, you'll understand why they're crying all the time. Hell, I even cried during the film and I wasn't even part of the cast. I can't begin to imagine how they feel seeing the movie on the big screen especially since they poured their entire souls into this masterpiece.

[@dakotac180]

As a queer black theater girl from Kansas who loves design and to sing. Thank you ladies! But especially thank you to Cynthia, she brought a great representation to this adaptation and her voice is absolutely anointed. I love the sisterhood!

[@kimrussell9662]

I watched the film on Friday, and I get the crying! I sobbed loudly the entire film. I think they know how good this is and how amazing they are in these roles.

[@Disney65Fan]

Saw it Saturday and cried on 3 occasions.

[@gabbyg.b_youtube]

Maybe ariana cries in all the interviews because she sees herself in glinda , this popstar princess who feel pressure to be competitive and be perfect in the world but all she really needs is that one genuine friend that really cares . Maybe in this movie it just kind of shows this journey that there’s a human side to all the perfection the spotlight has to bring , she’s perfectly imperfect.

[@xjuhnx]

This. I think immersing herself in this character was really illuminating and healing for her

[@itsjoeycaleb]

These mothers are incredible. It’s so special to have this interview of them all. Thank you 🫶🏻😭

[@katekatekate6841]

just 4 icons being icons

[@JennaLoomar]

Everyone crying because everyone knows how important this story is to the theater community and the world. And they nailed it

[@cloudsj9880]

This is such a special moment 🥹 no wonder why they’re crying ❤️‍🩹

[@megorex630]

I got to see Idina as Elphaba several times and I remember I was sobbing during the show, same thing happened during the movie. The full body chills, the rising happiness that spills over into tears. My favorite song is “No Good Deed”, I cannot wait to see it. Just wonderful show and movie 💚🩷

[@maicon.93]

this is so emblematic, the four together... this movie is indeed needed in these times we're living... amazing video!

[@joons3707]

idina’s face card is lethal

[@dangansonaplays]

I wish they would stop crying, *I* don't want to cry this much! haha. Over the years i've noticed Idina isn't as emotional as Kristen, so when she starts crying, then you know it's real lol. And I know people wanna make fun of them, but I get it, if you haven't seen the musical they are very emotionally taxing roles. *especially* for Galinda. Wicked is not a happy story, it is full of anguish, pain and grief. Especially in Act 2. As someone who is very emotionally invested in the Broadway show (especially the OBC) I understand every tear lol.

[@ydiefuentes6334]

2 of my greatest Broadway stars A girly pop who defined my childhood And a beautiful queen from the color purple I have truly been changed for good

[@Bdaychick]

I love the sisterhood between these ladies❤ Cynthia and Ariana are definitely continuing the amazing legacy that Idina and Kristin that started 💖💚 My Fav film of 2024!!!

[@phaserdaze]

I was teary-eyed for a bit, and then saw Ariana pulling a tissue from her chest at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="593">9:53</a>. 😂

[@charstar13]

i cant stop crying

[@alschne2]

I loved that they even still had the playful banter in the scene like they did when they played in the OGs on broadway

[@matthewyancey5334]

i’m literally cryinggggg

[@cashelexington1706]

The fact that Idina is sitting beside Cynthia and Kirstin is sitting beside Ariana 🤧

[@agapi222]

[@malm500]

If I were Ari I would literally cry as much as her 😭🫶💗

[@Mauvie_Vans]

I am so excited for this I saw a clip online and was dying to watch the whole thing!

[@Brookefilms]

this is so beautiful, how lucky we are to see these four amazing women together :’)

[@Airrazor0620]

i watch few interviews of the cast and like a lot of it they cried, i was like why they always crying and i see people making jokes because of it, so i decided to do some research and glad to came across some good fanpage that explain why, now i get it, i understand why they reacting that way and i couldn't be more happy for them, really hoping they enjoy all the love they're going to get from now on because they trully deserve it,, both cynthia and ariana story was beautiful and heartwarming to read so yeah let those emotion out at these times.

[@hridoyrahman4553]

Best interview ever I was sad that Idina & Kristin didn’t cast for the film but that cameo in one short day i cried after seeing them💚💖

[@kimberlyferreira8522]

let them cry!!!!!

[@Ntltcagb]

Just amazing . 4 legends

[@ink444l]

this is so sweet

[@lihipolak]

I'm crying too

[@jer9grant]

Adore all these ladies 💚💖

[@ErnestoVillanueva-u6j]

I needed this interview to be at least 3 and a half hours long

[@pink4160]

im so proud of themm😭💕

[@azjei]

Omg I was also crying in the theater. Now watching this also makes me cry. I can feel how much pride Idina and Kristen have for them. Just knowing that something you loved for so long continues to the next generation. The Wicked legacy lives on. 💚🩷

[@Dad-fu9gt]

I saw Wicked when it previewed in San Francisco before going to Broadway way back when. It sounds corny now, but it's true. I will never forget Menzel singing Defying Gravity. She finished and there was a delayed reaction in the crowd, as if they couldn't believe what they had just heard, and then they erupted. The loudest cheers I have ever heard at a non-sporting event. Can't wait to see the movie.

[@kallen868]

That's wonderful!

[@MathewDuncan2005]

I love when Idina and cynthia were talking and you see ariana and Kristin looking at each other crying at each other

[@c.t.5017]

My emotional support interview 🥹

[@Brookefilms]

what a magical thing these strong women have created 🩷💚

[@Bloomies65]

😭I’m not crying. You’re crying. 😭

[@Based808]

Nobody does it like Idina and Kristin. Nobody.

[@cameraondaniel]

They are so amazing and talented!

[@HaiaSimone]

i love this so much!!!!!!!

[@Halseyismyrealname]

I wish they would have done the horse of the different colors, I know he’s not in the wicked play or books but I love him

[@mephisto_d]

holding hands and crying again lmao

[@jimuporu]

[@ahrichan00]

[@mephisto_d]

@ i’m obviously not stopping them, it’s just funny af

[@jordanvillapando6512]

@@mephisto_d what’s funny about it?

[@kevingumalang9993]

I think you’ll get it if u were theater musical kid or just a fan of wicked since the first day

[@user-pn1zs6mc4j]

This is the sweetest thing ever ❤🎉

[@bobbiemurray3354]

Loved this. And love that they are emotional women.

[@AliceKo17]

AT LONG LAST - we now know!!!!

[@bonbelina]

Who came hoping they would sing 🎤 👀

[@kallen868]

Most of us know better.

[@JosiahBjerke13]

Is it just me or is Cynthia's outfit giving Delia Deetz vibes lol.

[@itsjinxnow4814]

I’m sorry they do come off as insufferable sometimes but they’re such a kii 😭 not only did they give us the incredible film but memes like “holding space for the lyrics of defying gravity” love it!

[@dandan-el5uw]

my actual mothers.

[@BronwynAlexandriaa]

They’re crying all the time because they are singers & theater performers who are quite literally playing their childhood dream role. Like ??? How does that not make sense? 😅

[@migdon470]

Beautiful woman

[@RosaAleman-fs7iv]

i love you so much ❤🥺

[@scottdespins]

Holding space

[@cixmix]

When these girls aren’t holding hands, they’re holding space

[@SamuelCharlesSanomAlbert]

i like that you like something so much like theater. i like playing videos games and using my imagination to create a whole world around the gameplay than i write about my imaginaion in a little book by where i sleep. in chicken scratch. we all have our things.

[@SpongeKingRoyalAttire]

we get the running gag, but this film took so long to develop, and ari/cynthia have been in promotion mode since 2023, let them sob. they finally get to do proper interviews, and part two isnt even here yet. trust it'll be even more intense once 2025 rolls along.

[@manonspb]

now this is a coven

[@WhydoIexistonthisplanet]

If I dont listen to my daily Ariana I cant function

[@LukeWoodz]

ari survived another 😂

[@emelymarie4171]

ICONIC

[@s4ify]

why does the audio sound so weird

[@godisjihyo3615]

how does it sound weird?

[@Fishstick-2024]

Wait didn’t Idina say that he iconic riff was her own before? Like she came up with it? 🤨🤨 sus

[@zoejnobaptiste3332]

She's talking about doing it in the movie. Stephen added it to One Short Day so she could do it in the movie. Not the original from the play.

[@pipijanusik8561]

ugh not the crying and holding hands again XD

[@dylanxbrown]

why do they sound like robots?

[@universe0173]

ikr lmao, something is wrong with the audio

[@pussy2076]

this is so cringe

[@s4ify]

ur mom

[@mjsisme]

You seem like an unhappy person who needs to belittle others to make urself feel better. I am so sorry for you.

[@vanessag5449]

this is so wholesome! can’t wait to see the movie soon ❤❤

[@ryancook1808]

It’s amazing ❤

[@certified_starrrrr]
