As the debate rages on whether it is rude to sing aloud in the theater during “Wicked” showings … one of the stars is telling fans to belt that s***!
Cynthia Erivo was a guest Thursday during Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade … where she was asked by Hoda Kotb and Jenna Bush Hager about the debate topic.
Cynthia — who plays Elphaba — said fans should sing their hearts out in showing if they are feeling it … after all, the cast did!
Since the musical blockbuster dropped last week … an online debate raged over whether it was OK for people to sing aloud in showings — obviously some thought it was awesome … while others thought it was rude.
While raking in tons of dough at the box office … “Wicked” has also sparked fans to wear costumes to the theater … which has not worked out so well for some.
A few videos posted to TikTok showed customers having to wash the green paint off their faces … a long-standing AMC rule banning face coverings.
Seems it might be easier for Elphaba cosplayers to just sing until they are green in the face … after all, Cynthia did give the green light!
