Cynthia Erivo Slams Viral Wicked poster

Jeez, someone's a bit touchy.

I hate her and I hope this film tanks and she becomes box office poison!

The reworked poster is better, it adds some mystique to her character and the enigmatic Mona Lisa smile. She just looks like a deer in headlights in the original one.

She’s a clueless dumbass.

I think she may have overreacted.

She always does.

I still can’t believe they’re releasing this in two parts. What a cash grab rip-off.

“Is your pussy green?” Is hilarious and I wouldn’t have heard about it if it weren’t for Cynthia’s complaint post. Thanks, Cyn!

What a narcissist.

That’s nice, dear.

r7 While I can't wait to see this, I do agree that they should have only made one movie. Just cut out all the boring songs, which there are MANY in Wicked.

Jesus Christ, she takes herself seriously.

She may single handedly turn this into the movie nobody wants to see.

I agree, the fan one is much more interesting for reasons already stated. It also copies the original advertisement motiff. The one she loves so much is off putting for reasons other than her being not very attractive...and green. The Cheshire cat grin in the original says it all.

She doesn’t have a face that is going to draw people into the theaters. Too unattractive.

I am 100% certain the person who asked her about the color of her ***** was a DLer, past or present.

I don't know what happens to a person when they become an actor, but I swear these people are the most hypersensitive individuals to walk this Earth. Just overbearing for no reason. Everything is a melodramatic performance. Living nightmares, the lot of them.

Does she have Chappell Roan’s PR person?

She should be way above even commenting on this. It’s Wicked. Let the fans do whatever they want to do.

She’s not exactly an oil painting.

She really is a cunt extraordinaire. I want this to flop so it kills her career.

[quote] I still can’t believe they’re releasing this in two parts.

Officially, the first part is a whole movie. The second part is a sequel to the first movie.

She way overreacted. I like her but that did not come off well.

An attractive woman sabotaging her looks with that unfortunate nose ring. Ugh!

First world actor problems.

It'is the same as the Playbill - get over yourself.

R14 - you're not supposed to say the truth OUT LOUD. But yeah - it's not just that - she also has to be out there with the piercings, weird unflattering clothes, and stupid hairstyles.

I get it - you're a lesbian and you're doing you - but looking somewhat attractive IS a common requirement in Hollywood.

What bothers me most - SHE'S TOO OLD! 37 year old Dorothys? I mean - Diana Ross was 33 in the Wiz and people STILL talk about that.

That's PR drivel r20. They are taking the musical and splitting the story into two movies. This release is only the first half of the Wicked.

All I know is that she looks like a dumbass on the left part of OP's pic.

What a cunt! Someone should retouch the poster of her boring Oscar bait-y Harriet Tubman biopic and put Julia Roberts face in it, just to trigger Erivo some more.

She's alot

Won’t the second part of this be an undeniable let down? Most musicals have 2nd act problems. Releasing the 2nd act as its own film seems really stupid. Oh well.

[quote] What bothers me most - SHE'S TOO OLD! 37 year old Dorothys? I mean - Diana Ross was 33 in the Wiz and people STILL talk about that.

And at least with Ross, they updated the character to make her a lonely schoolteacher. Erivo is trying to pass herself off as a college student. Well, at least Stockard Channing no longer has to carry the title of World's Oldest Teenager.

Settle me something. In the trailers, the tune and delivery of Defying Gravity is nothing like the show. Have they fucked with it in the movie or it is just stylized for the creative?

Because I'm still hearing what Jennifer Hudson did to Memory and even though that song can cause diabetes, it didn't deserve that.

What a bitchy and nasty response to something so insignificant. She must be terrible to work with. Yikes!

I'm not really familiar with the show. Are we supposed to believe that Cynthia and Ariana are sisters?

I agree the original is so much better. Ariana's whole face isn't shown in either version. The fan version lays it all out there: Is she Wicked?

She stole the title role in Harriet from Julia Roberts who had been practicing her black face for months.

r33 Yes.

[quote]She just looks like a deer in headlights in the original one.

But... but, to edit my face and hide my eyes is to ERASE ME!!! This is a grave insult!!!

She’s following in the footsteps of Kathleen Kennedy, attacking a film’s most loyal fans.

Yeah, really R32. And the fact that it wasn’t just the poster but then she had to pile on with all her other grievances.

This film should get a Joker: Folie et Deux erasure.

Scott Menzel:

Word on the street is Wicked has just started screening for industry folks and the reactions are extremely positive (I’m talking raves).

I do think we are looking at Wicked becoming one of the biggest films of 2024 and a major awards contender.

Viola better watch out, somebody's stealing her act.

[quote] I'm not really familiar with the show. Are we supposed to believe that Cynthia and Ariana are sisters?

You’re expected to suspend disbelief to the nth degree to believe that someone as good-looking as Jonathan Bailey would be attracted to someone as fugly as Cynthia.

I always forget what a maniac she is until she has a new project coming out and somebody puts a microphone in front of her again -- that is some pointless bitchery if ever there was any, my god

She's been sulky and starting fights with randos on social media for years. She suffers from Patti LuPone syndrome, where the more success she finds, the bigger the chip on her shoulder becomes.

She's not Patti LuPone.

How often has Cynthia put her hoof in her mouth? It's fairly shocking how she keeps putting herself into the middle of these controversies.

r40, that "journalist" is, at best, a bottom feeder who has fewer than 5,000 followers. Even though I think the film will be a hit, it's not like he'd be able to get any sort of inside information.

Is she that good? I've never heard of her until now.

R47, and if you scroll down, he's been pushing it as a hit for awhile so that post is just more of the same.

I was so looking forward to Julia Roberts as Harriet Tubman.

"Harriet, has anyone ever told you you're beautiful?"

Why are lesbians always so sensitive?

r44 at least Patti is funny and quotable.

Cynthia is very talented, no question. Her performance in The Color Purple not only got her a Tony but really made her a star. A certain faction in Hollywood really is intrigued by her, similar to Whoopi Goldberg after she did TCP movie. Others find her an annoying presence and would be able to appreciate her performances more if she'd not talk so much.

But we already have Cynthia Nixon for that.

Wanted to add that she needs to stay in her lane. This rendition Midnight Train To Georgia could have been done better by runners-up on The Voice.

[quote]The reworked poster is better, it adds some mystique to her character and the enigmatic Mona Lisa smile. She just looks like a deer in headlights in the original one.

Agreed, 100 percent. I would note that Ariana Grande's face is also not entirely visible in the poster because of her hand over her mouth.

Also -- FUCK Erivo. Poor baby finds the reworked poster "hurtful," but I'll bet it doesn't hurt one fraction as much as the hurt she doled out to all of the hundreds of people she helped put out of work when she railed against NATASHA, PIERRE for racism that was completely and totally in her own mind.

I've seen the trailer in the cinema and it does look spectacular.

I've seen Cynthia on stage in a couple of things in the UK and she is an amazing vocalist, but it sounds like the keys have been changed.

Looking at the success of Anyone But You and that Blake Lively wife beater movie this year it's clear there's a market for entertainment where young women can enjoy themselves together and Wicked would tick all the boxes. It would be the movie equivalent of the Eras tour. Having it as a two part movie may reduce some of the footfall and the cuntiness of Cynthia won't damage its success.

Somebody needs a hug ... and more than a few years of therapy!

Call Miss Peanut, Cynthia.

Here's Cynthia doing a grand job of Abba but fucking up the lyrics

[quote]Marc Platt hasn't been having great luck with his leading ladies keeping their mouths shut.

Forgive my ignorance, but who else are you referring to?

Too bad they didn't do something about that turnip nose and those dead eyes.

The usual phony black bullshit, International Style, finding aggressions everywhere to maintains victim credit that doesn't apply to her.

How DARE anyone give a shit about me and do something fans do! But WORSHIP my queendom!

So boring.

It’s more flattering to hide her face.

She's the ugliest woman I've ever seen.

Or so I thought until I saw her wife, Lena Waithe.

She seems more like box office poison, why did they choose her as a lead?

Have you bitches seen her Vanity Fair cover? Jesus.

The new version is better. It's always important that too-close-set eyes be hidden from my view. Thank you.

Seriously, though, it actually is better.

“This is the most offensive thing I’ve ever seen.” Wow.

Uppity bitch

The official poster is just weird. Why does she look confused?

She SHO is UGLY!

She ain't all that.

[quote]Are we supposed to believe that Cynthia and Ariana are sisters?

No, they're college roommates (who initially loathe each other). Cynthia's sister, Nessarose, is played by Marissa Bode.

Erivo looks angry and Ariana's hand placement is all wrong in the movie poster.

The original Broadway poster is much better with Elphaba showing a slight smirk and Glinda's hand placement where it should be...

Someone should really piss her off and do the poster with Cynthia Nixon and Che Diaz.

No Oscar nom for you, cunt.

I see a lot of Broadway shows. I did not care for 'Wicked.'

It was written for 12-year old girls. It was a juvenile show.

Same here r76

R65 How does she wipe her green pussy with those nails?

[quote] She’s not exactly an oil painting

Well…

They are not supposed to be sisters r33.

I had a difficult time hearing the musical when I saw it, something was off with the acoustics and my main impression was how loud it was, but the book had a sort of dark undercurrent.

Telling your truth about you are abused by stardom before you've really actually become a star is a sure way to win new fans!

She needs personality dialysis.

I smell a flop.

The film is also the best PG-Rated first-day ticket pre-seller of 2024 and the No. 3 best PG-Rated first-day ticket pre-seller of all time; only behind the theatrical hits of Frozen II and The Lion King (2019).

She makes Elphaba look like an actual monster. They should’ve cast an attractive person to offset the costume.or at the very least, another anorexic.

What a DIVA! I love her!

Is Cynthia aware there is a photograph of her circulating in which she is [italic]smiling?[/italic].

Jesus people will just gulp down swill and beg for more won't they

R60, Rachel Zegler who is the star of Platt's Snow White.

They sure will, R88; 24/7 they will.

I don’t understand why she was offended. They were trying to recreate the original poster. It makes no sense.

I don’t like her, I’ve always thought she was a foreign black woman hijacking black American roles cause she won’t demand as much money.

Another ornery immigrant taking "Black jobs," Natasha r91?

Girl, bye. Have a good time on the Ignore Ward.

Oh, God. MAmericanEntertainmentGA.

And you wonder how Trump is pulling it off? It's America first in all of you. Christ on a cracker. There is a whole, international creative community, coming together to.... create. Must it all have a Made in the USA stamp on the ass?

R91 - Angela Bassett

Thanks, R89. I was unaware of the SNOW WHITE nonsense till now.

Ben was a little bitch about the reaction to the Dear Evan Hansen film produced by his dad too

Very true, R96.

She’s not attractive

What [italic]hasn't[/italic] Platt been a little bitch about?

Good God! Of all the things to get offended about in this day and age, she picks this.

I cannot believe she chose not to understand the intention. This would’ve been a non-issue if anyone else played Elphaba.

I find certain “Wicked” fans annoying but they don’t deserve this kind of reaction.

Does she understand the source material?

She's playing the Wicked Witch of the West not a Greek Goddess bombshell. She's supposed to be ugly and Miss Erivo fits that well.

Some second-rate diva who can't sustain.

Semi-demi-diva twice removed with an ego the size of the London sewer and acculturation the size of the bowl of an espresso spoon.

I hope the internet keeps being the internet and doubles down. Erase her ENTIRE face next time!

She also really doesn’t you to see this, either.

[quote]Ben was a little bitch about the reaction to the Dear Evan Hansen film produced by his dad too

"Dad people on the Internet are being mean to me! DO SOMETHING about it!"

[quote]What hasn't Platt been a little bitch about?

He's a community theater-level "talent" who would be nowhere without his father.

Setting my low riffing aside, and granted the absurd pan-isms involved (We serve none but Bacchus.), maybe, actually, she has a point, and it reaches beyond the individual involved to general matters of ethics, rights, and protections.

People with rings in their nasal septums always look like livestock.

Surely that cannot be her intention?

I can't imagine paying money to watch such an ugly face. Same with Adam Driver, Miles Teller and Sydney Sweeney. I have sensitive eyes.

My pussy stinks.

Which is the poster she's mad about? They both are terrible. I saw this preview in a movie theater and it looks as awful as both these posters.

She’s having delusions of grandeur.

She is NUTS!

Without fans who loved the play so much that they'd bother editing a poster to match the original, the movie is going to BOMB.

As it is, it's not going to be some beloved classic like the original Wizard of Oz. But, having the stars be idiots certainly isn't going to help.

I have despised her ever since she single-handedly ended the Broadway run of The Great Comet for being "racist" because the black actor hired to replace Josh Groban was then replaced by a white actor. It never made sense. But she's a cunt who weaponizes her race for clout on Twitter, so of course the production didn't stand a chance against her crusading mob of delusional Hamilton fanatics.

People (and she) act like she's Leontyne Price, but I can't stand her singing and don't think highly of her voice.

She wouldn't have a career if she didn't weaponize race for clout.

The play poster is vastly better. It has the mystery of the character, and the little smirk when being told gossip is just SO much better not being able to see her eyes.

The movie poster makes her look like she’s receiving surprise anal.

And you can’t see Christina’s face in either one, but you don’t see her melting down.

She sho is ugly.

Shug

Why have they made Ariana Grande so purposelyl bizarre and ugly?

Sorry Ariana, mixed up my pop divas

[Quote] She sho is ugly.

This is funny 0% of the time, with a margin of error of 0.

Was JHud not available for this? Instead, this vile, hatchet-faced woman unleashed her narcissistic rage on the world?

I'm gonna put a little Shug Avery pee in R122's drink, see how he likes THAT!

R122 must be the life of the party with his lack of humor.

Cynthia and Ben are best pals. Birds of a feather.

Ariana looks like an elven ferret in this, and Erivo straight up looks like fucking Shrek. Anyone who wants to see this is mentally ill.

Erivo is hideously ugly with that nose ring. Slightly better looking without it.

[quote]Erivo is hideously ugly with that nose ring. Slightly better looking without it.

She's even better looking with a bag on her head.

DON'T BERASE HER ALL THE WAY!!!

R129, a burqa would suffice

This woman deserves to be offended. Can’t wait to see Twitter go to fucking town with her feefees.

Meh.

The ego wants what it wants.
