Cynthia Erivo Disappointed To Discover All Her ‘Wicked: For Good’ Scenes Cut

LOS ANGELES—Admitting she felt “a little silly” after getting all dressed up for the premiere, Cynthia Erivo told reporters Friday she was disappointed after discovering that all her scenes from Wicked: For Good had been cut. “It’s definitely a bit of a letdown, but at least I had fun and got paid,” said Erivo, who divulged that it wasn’t until the credits rolled that she realized not a single one of the scenes she had spent weeks filming had made it into the blockbuster sequel’s final cut. “Directors always have to make these hard decisions, and I guess at the end of the day, Elphaba was more of a side character. Oh well. There will always be other opportunities. I just wish I hadn’t told so many people I was going to be in the film.” Erivo went on to say she was finding solace in the fact friend Ariana Grande’s part had also been cut.
