Wicked Star Cynthia Erivo Reveals She Co-Wrote Original Song for Sequel
As a cinephile, I’ve been absolutely thrilled by the phenomenal success of “Wicked.” Ever since its premiere, it has filled theaters and even introduced sing-along screenings for the most enthusiastic fans. This overwhelming response has undeniably raised the bar for anticipation surrounding the upcoming sequel, “Wicked: For Good.” The music, in particular, is generating immense excitement, especially considering director Jon M. Chu’s promise that the new film will incorporate fresh tunes alongside those from the Broadway musical. In an engaging chat with the Variety Awards Circuit podcast, the talented Cynthia Erivo, who portrays Elphaba, disclosed her involvement in co-writing one of these brand-new tracks. Working closely with Stephen Schwartz, she shared that they’ve created something truly exhilarating.
