Hitting ‘Wicked’ high notes with Cynthia Erivo and Jonathan Bailey | Capital

Jordan, Chris and Sian speak to Cynthia Erivo and Jonathan Bailey about the movie we are all losing our minds over (and rightly so)... Wicked. They share what it takes to become a triple threat in the musical theatre world, the important meaning of Defying Gravity, and their top tips to flirt like Fiyero.
After sharing all of the secrets to creating movie musical history, Jordan, Chris and Sian take a singing lesson with Cynthia Erivo herself.

Love how sweet and supportive Cynthia is with the mere mortals who simply cannot do what she does.

[@termihojinlee6229]

we are mere mortals indeed

[@bruemetzger]

Só True

[@sadesg8855]

Chile I laughed so hard at this 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Thank you for this comment

[@bonnybanini224]

The chemistry between Cynthia and Jonathan is so enjoyable to watch!

[@bohlalenchabeleng1370]

Sparks are flying.

[@willem9538]

I would've thought being a stage performer, Johnny wouldn't be so shy to sing. It's cute.

[@annedootson6456]

He's very humble is t he and always praises orhers

[@d43imoet]

And he has beautiful tone in his voice 😍 In love with his Fiyero!

[@digerati02]

Why does that make me love him more???

[@annedootson6456]

@digerati02 he has the x factor without trying

[@leaflaurel]

There's a difference between doing something you know you can do and doing the Elphaba run next to Cynthia Erivo, lol.

[@jaymar6821]

I just don’t understand how ppl can see this actresses demeanor, how positive she is, her voice is amazing, she’s an amazing actress and they still spread hate about her. Racism is not something that can be understood if you’re not that way yourself. It just makes 0 sense

[@evatrost1750]

THIS❗️❗️❗️

[@JellieJoShmo]

Completely agree. It truly is pure projection of their self-hate and fears and shame. There’s nothing about Cynthia that would ever inspire it, so it’s pure projection. Such a sad & pathetic way for those people to live.

[@colette9067]

It is envy and jealousy. They hate the fact that she is brilliant!

[@musicalkavya]

YES. They’re just jealous of how incredible she is!

[@ellizkim5231]

I am sooooo ITCHY for their rendition of As Long as You're Mine

[@d43imoet]

It will break me 😭😭😭

[@lithiumclears]

that will be the end of me

[@sandrolucic2281]

THIS!!!! Love that song!

[@claricesilva2700]

It's pretty much the biggest reason why i'm watching the next movie and i'm not ashamed to admit it😂

[@ellizkim5231]

@ I know that I'm in the minority and prefer act 2 over act 1 storyline wise but I can't help it I'm just a Fiyerphaba stan and I hope the chemistry will eat in the 2nd movie.

[@gabriellemesmo]

Johnny stoled my heart in this movie!!! The story of Fiyero and Elphaba is so beautiful and so sad! I CAN'T WAIT for the part II!!!!!!

[@claricesilva2700]

At least in the musical they stay together. In the book is tragic.

[@kaylabeshears6485]

Cannot wait to hear and see their version of "As Long As You're Mine"

[@AndySaenz924]

When they played the trucker hitting Elphaba’s final battle cry, he sounds more like Tarzan! 😂

[@Rosannasfriend]

I really enjoyed this interview. It’s my first time watching Cynthia and Jonathan in an interview with just the two of them actually. I’ve exhausted all the Ariana and Cynthia interviews after bingeing on them, and while that was fun, I’m moving onto the next level, lol.

[@meaganbooks179]

the same as i agree with you

[@cjordan1207]

This movie brings so much positive vibes and love, the cast is amazing... They are like one happy family. The friendships between Cynthia and Ariana and Jonathan and Michelle and others are simply beautiful and sweet. That translates to such a wonderful movie ❤

[@blanchefan]

Cynthia and Jonathan are adorable in every way--and of course they're beyond talented--! What a gift they and their movie are to us all!

[@juvenalstewart7462]

You know everyone talks about Cynthia and Ariana and their chemistry which textbook besties but Cynthia and Jonathan’s chemistry is just on whole nother level. It’s so pure and beautiful like they carry over their Elphaba and Fiyero counterparts with each other and it’s just absolute joy to watch

[@Jay-op7co]

The fact that she sounds the same in person compared to the trailer 🔥🔥

[@dariencoffee94]

It's cause she sang it live lol

[@Yagirlnyesha]

I cried at least 4 times watching the movie

[@seankaleo]

Same. All three times I’ve seen it, insofar.

[@thewatchaholic]

an amazing film. In tears from beginning to end.Cynthia and Johnny were absolutely beautiful to watch. ❤❤❤ can’t wait to watch it again.

[@MoTuck]

My second viewing was even more wonderful to watch. I picked up more details I missed the first time. The story between these two has me anxious to see Part 2 next year. I was moved to tears in several scenes. And watching Jonny on the Tornado wheel, just wow! I love to listen to great actors that can sing with such soul. More please!

[@petersim5689]

Jonathan and Cynthia, two of the most humble and gorgeous artists in the world！！！

[@pollyrb8375]

Love seeing these two together! This is such a fun vibe!

[@savetheanimalsfree]

These two are national treasures

[@dakotac180]

I loooooove these two so much. Im so excited for part two. Cynthia girl you see us different little black girls.

[@surajleo1]

Just saw wicked😢😢😢 i was crying the whole time 🫧🫧🫧🫧😢😢😢😢🌻🌻🌈🌈🌈🌈

[@awesometv6464]

Can't explain how much I ❤ Cynthia's talent!

[@MoTuck]

Loved the movie. These two are simply incredible. Going again with my granddaughters. Looking forward to the Tornado Wheel with Johnny and Defying Gravity with Cynthia. Just mind bending. The whole movie has so many things to see hat were missed the first time around.

[@rosaondarra-barron8835]

I cried after seeing this movie, Wicked means a lot to me from being in my kitchen singing the music to then being in the musical

[@roxytheslayer]

This is such a fun interview! Love them both so much! Can't wait to hear their rendition of as Long as you're mine

[@mojohey7408]

They are so funny together😂❤️

[@AchillesandArtemis]

10:42 “🎶Haaa is where we’re starting🎶” Didn’t help at all 😂

[@Rell-z9k]

I thought I was only one crying the the theatre. I guess not 😪. I cannot wait for the second movie.

[@PeachWNK]

Oh no. I was blubbering. I’ve seen it more than once, and I still cry!

[@paolamiano]

Crying at Jonathan’s laugh during “massive wink off”

[@Prior2Popular]

These interviewers are fabulous 😂

[@melissag.428]

Jonathan Bailey is so attractive. I haven't been this attracted to a Brit since Luke Evans in "THE HOBBIT." lmao

[@Rosannasfriend]

I agree with you . Another British gay man that happened to be so attractive and hot in his movie.

[@claricesilva2700]

These two are really underated in the movie. I don't see anybody talking about how flawless their scenes are. Sure, there are a just a few of them, but in each one of them, the way they play the different emotions between the characters in the most subtle way...most people don't realize that stuff but i do, and i appreciate the art of it.

[@Benandmycat]

Great interview with Jonathan and Cynthia!

[@keimat4470]

Cynthia’s reaction at 4:53 !! 😂

[@romie566]

I wonder why Jonathan is so hesitant to sing ive noticed in multiple interviews. He’s a great singer!

[@colette9067]

He is ok😊

[@winterwitch457]

Some people are just shy I guess. Emily Blunt is an amazing singer but she always gets really embarrassed in interviews if someone brings up her singing. Maybe Jonny Bailey is just the same way.

[@PeachWNK]

@winterwitch457It’s different singing in front of an audience and singing in a small setting with people looking at you. :) If someone asked me to sing, I would be nervous. On stage, though, you can’t see your audience. In a movie, you’re in character.

[@HaiaSimone]

i love you jonathan!

[@parcdeexpositions]

brilliant casting = super talent = super movie !❤️!

[@philipcgannon5696]

Absolutely fab chat with the capital gang 😊

[@luannelantz9516]

“Flirt Master General” 😎👏♥️

[@chareajohnson2320]

Absolutely magical!😊🎉❤

[@annalisaiaccarino6911]

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😍😍😍😍 Jonny

[@dlaxtr483]

jbay!! 💚

[@SunnyRayCreates1750]

Beautiful ❤️❤️❤️❤️ just watched this movie with my besties and it was so great

[@anniebell6846]

I love them

[@LeeBeeDeeTree51]

I love seeing British people be corny. It's kinda endearing. As an American, I think of the stiff upper lip when I think British. But seeing all these British people be silly is actually quite sweet.

[@CJ98762]

Brilliant!

[@miabenn9418]

see Jonathan i click

[@claricesilva2700]

They acting normal around each other like they didn't perform "As long as you're mine" lol. Ugh, i hate how i am looking foward to that😂❤

[@theironman6089]

Cynthia is barely trying and it’s still beautiful lol lover her

[@illbewaitinghere863]

Kev the trucker roleplaying Tarzan missing a vine

[@Pipkins0263]

0:23 😂 I was wetting my self listening to this lol 0:48

[@HanaTihnan]

Mon prince jonathan bailey ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@LeeBeeDeeTree51]

Jonathan is only 36 and is going gray. "Not that there is anything wrong with it," to quote Seinfeld.

[@keimat4470]

I knew a guy who went gray at age 11 lol

[@jerseygirl1748]

I had my first gray hair at 26-it's not at all ununusal just most actors dye it

[@ker_possible]

same one gray hair in my twenties.

[@digerati02]

Lot of the boys in my family started getting grey at 20

[@princessjello]

Ive got two friends who i met in HS who were already salt n peppa 😅

[@dewimatthews6037]

'Fiero's got a big old.....arc' ' a massive wink-off' Is it just me?

[@SadhviJenn]

A wink off lol

[@larissadantas7766]

💚💙

[@larissadantas7766]

❤

[@robert-ox4hk]

they really had to raise cynthia’s voice up octaves for the final edit of those notes

[@PeachWNK]

I don’t know what this means? Lol

[@robert-ox4hk]

@ it means they really autotuned her voice for the movie.

[@PeachWNK]

@ ​​⁠It sounds almost identical. lol. She sang Defying Gravity live in the movie. You can find the video on KZbin of her in the harness doing her own stunts and singing. She insisted on doing that part live and had to work on her breathing.

[@gapless1001]

I love how powerhouse talented Cynthia is and she acts like she is human. Lol. There is now way she is of this earth. None. Phenomenal talent. Denied the Oscar twice. I don’t get it. Tubman definitely deserved two Oscar’s 1 for actress and the other for the song, Stand up.

[@Buike_98]

It seems they’ve filmed Wicked 2 5:30

[@mra2010]

Jonathan Bailey

[@larissadantas7766]

💚🩵

[@ashaale3605]

Why nobody asked her to do the note by herself????

[@catherinekim5287]

I wanna hang out with Johnny and Cynthia. I do not wanna hang out w Ariana and Cynthia.

[@digerati02]

😂

[@CakeKitty135]

There's no space with Ariana and Cynthia, they only hold space for the lyrics of defying gravity

[@P1wer]

no ariana no views

[@TheUsuisan]

Well but You stilll here

[@im_balding911]

*Its litterally only been up for 4 hours, chill😭😭*

[@trini2DBone134]

DELETE

[@anavias]

Ariana has incredible star power, for sure, but I really enjoyed seeing a different side of Cynthia when she was paired with Johnny in this interview.

[@thewatchaholic]

an amazing film. In tears from beginning to end.Cynthia and Johnny were absolutely beautiful to watch. ❤❤❤ can’t wait to watch it again.

[@user-gp9es3rd3e]

I love them
