Wicked’s Cynthia Erivo Shared Thoughts On ‘Haters’ Who Dislike Musicals (And Made A Good Point)

Movies



Stage musicals on the Broadway stage are an institution, and it’s become quite commonplace for movie musicals to adapt that material for film. While this sometimes includes offbeat musicals, the next addition to the genre will be the beloved mega hit Wicked. But even though a number of musicals won Best Picture, there are plenty of haters out there who don’t like when actors break out into song. Although Wicked’s Cynthia Erivo shared her thoughts on those who hate musicals, and made a good point.

What we know about Wicked is fairly extensive, at least for Broadway fans who know every word of the blockbuster stage production. But the question is how director John M. Chu and the Wicked cast will make the material their own. While speaking with Empire, Evrivo reacted to folks who inherently dislike musicals, saying:

I never understand when [musical haters] are like, ‘Why are people singing randomly?’ Because people sing every day, randomly, in the middle of the street! They literally do! I have sat in cars and people are just singing along to songs! Or the amount of times where people do that passive-aggressive thing of, when something happens that they don’t like, instead of saying, ‘What’s going on?’, they sing the thing that’s happening. Or at football stadiums, all of a sudden, everyone is singing along together — that’s singing in real life!
