Los Angeles, Dec 21 (NationPress) Hollywood icon Cynthia Erivo has described the ‘Wicked’ films as a transformative cultural phenomenon. The talented 38-year-old actress takes on the role of Elphaba in the cinematic adaptations of the acclaimed musical.

In her own words, Erivo expressed how the green witch will forever resonate within her, according to reports from Female First UK.

When asked to share her final thoughts about Elphaba, Cynthia stated during an interview with Variety, "I want to extend my gratitude to her for guiding me into a new chapter of life I never envisioned. This isn’t merely a popular film; it’s a cultural movement. I am deeply thankful to have been the medium through which this character could emerge. She will always hold a significant place in my heart."

Cynthia noted her pride in how Elphaba has inspired individuals facing real-life challenges.

She recounted, "I once saw a young girl on a talk show who had just finished her cancer treatment. She mentioned that seeing me without hair made her feel she could be okay too. Those moments truly shift my perspective, knowing that people are reconnecting with themselves through this character. That is incredibly special to me."

According to Female First UK, the actress shared that she relates to Elphaba's feelings of being misunderstood but has adapted to embrace it.

She remarked, "I believe I have learned to accept that reality. I cannot alter people's perceptions. I've had my No Good Deed moments. I understand that not everyone will appreciate who you are, and some may choose not to. That’s perfectly fine. I cannot change every individual’s viewpoint, but my duty is to continue evolving as a person and strive to be what I believe is a good human being. That's all I can do."

Cynthia described the experience of filming the song No Good Deed as one of the most challenging aspects of production, as she felt entirely isolated during that scene.
