Cynthia Erivo can’t help but gush about her “Wicked” co-star Ariana Grande.
Erivo, who is set to play Elphaba in the upcoming two-part Jon M. Chu-directed film, told Jimmy Fallon that the Glinda actor is “the best.”
“The connection we’ve made is really special. She’s got a family member for life now,” the actor and singer told “The Tonight Show” host on Friday.
Erivo, whose résumé includes her Tony Award-winning performance in “The Color Purple” musical on Broadway, said she didn’t know the two would realize how well their voices would fit together.
“Our voices are very, very different but when we sing together, it just works,” Erivo said of the “no tears left to cry” singer.
