[@aaronnewman7573]

@@bridgetgee1659no i can sing but can’t whistle at all, but to whistle the way she sings is crazy

[@DIOsNotDead]

Cynthia needs more love, she ate and left no crumbs as Elphaba and she's such a wonderful person in all these interviews

[@chioma916]

agreed

[@jeanineneal4551]

Absolutely

[@mikayocc]

For me, she was the whole reason I bought a ticket to see the movie, and why I bought it digitally. She's the whole heart of the movie and my eyes are glued to her.

[@alvande]

Agree!!

[@noctambule5726]

how about no, she thought the fan edit was ra*ist, man

[@hxpewxrld]

Oh my god the whistling sounded like an old school Disney princess movie, that was amazing.

[@moonedan]

I just wanna say, Cynthia is such a breath of fresh air! Those whistles, that voice that she has. She just keep on shining throughh!!

[@Thetruuuuuth]

My little cockatiel loved the whistling!!!!!! ❤🦜🦜🦜🦜🎶

[@yokoohellno]

Obsessed with this woman!

[@thriceLeo]

Same!! I just watched Drift yesterday, and it was amazing!

[@jodieandruby9357]

Me and u both

[@KristinAlayna]

So glad it's not just me 😭

[@KCNwokoye]

Wow Cynthia's whistling is excellent. It deserves its own Grammy.

[@AndySaenz924]

Even her whistling is beautiful! It sounds like a bird, it has a nice little vibrato to it. She’s so cool. 😎

[@sivenaudios]

cynthia is honestly an amazing actor! she did so good on wicked and in various movie that she has been :) AND THOSE WHISTLES GIRL, angel

[@Besties-h1i]

Riiight

[@Daddiemoney]

And singer GURLL! CAUSES SHE CAN SINGGG

[@Besties-h1i]

@ ikr she is amazing

[@irahkimberly7260]

I just love to listen to her talk. She's more upbeat here, on other interviews her voice is more buttery, silky, on some she's so direct and velvety. And I love it every single time. She's mesmerizing.

[@jillsalkin7389]

I know! There's this amazing talent, and then the English accent!!

[@ClipsByLaura]

So lovely to realize her first time seeing Wicked was with Rachel Tucker as Elphaba, who also happened to be my first Elphaba and she absolutely floored me. Cynthia's Elphaba is so completely different, but similarly real and connected. Just love it.

[@lavondasteen8051]

Cynthia is remarkable! So effervescent, talented, warm…I’m a fan for life! Thank you for sharing yourself with us!

[@freshouttheslammer]

WHY IS NO ONE HERE

[@FaiaHalo]

[@siri3848]

Pavorotti was also able to mimic a bird’s whistle. I just find that so beautiful that singers find each other regardless of species. Human’s and birds. Cynthia’s whistle surprised me but makes total sense 😍

[@marianna12204]

i’m so happy for discovering cynthia! she seems so sweet, so supportive and clearly is such a good friend! her voice is outstanding! i cross my fingers for an oscar for her

[@amarleebrooke9189]

I love her so much I can’t she’s so youthful and passionate and honestly it’s so inspiring

[@nataliascalvenzi5553]

"If you do us wrong, we may forgive, but we never forget. However, if we love you, we love you forever". YES, MOTHER. PREACH!!! Oh, I learned to be so proud of being a capricorn because of Cynthia 🥹❤️

[@lightchaste]

My Elphaba! Love her so much omg how can you be beast at singing acting and whistling

[@chammouth]

she is so phenomenally talented and such a bundle of warmth and love

the W here being green and pink on ari’s video is so cute ❤

[@tattooedandy93]

Cynthia is just a multi talented individual. She sings and acts superbly. Her singing is just effortless like she makes it sound so easy to sing those notes. She's speaks so softly in her British accent. She made Elphaba a beautiful person on the inside and outside. Elphaba is a character that alot of us can relate to, whether it's the colour of your skin, nationality or sexuality, Elphaba is that character.

[@catbatfishie]

The whistling is crazy! Sounds like those classic whistles that used to be in fairytale cartoons of princesses 😍😍😍😍

[@suptara]

oh how i love her so!!! she’s so divine!!

[@hylierosabelle]

I love that she always brings up "Mrs.Harris goes to Paris" as one of her favorite films.. As it is also one of my favorite films of all time.. I don't hear a lot of people talk about it though.. So it makes me happy she's giving it the attention it deserves..It's definitely worth the watch.. Such a beautiful and heart-warming film.

My best friend is a Capricorn like her and I am a cancer like Ariana. And she loves me unconditionally and has been my best friend for 25 years. She just gets me. So I felt that when Cynthia said “we love you forever“.
