Cynthia Erivo is reflecting on the attention her friendship with “Wicked” co-star Ariana Grande received while on the press tour for the movie musical and its sequel.

The theater star and singer has rocketed to greater heights of fame following Jon M. Chu’s adaptation of “Wicked,” which stars Erivo as the wicked witch Elphaba opposite Grande’s Glinda the Good. Many moments from the press tour for the 2024 film went viral online, and the close relationship between the stars was called into question.
