She admitted that she is still trying to figure out how to react to these spontaneous outpourings of love.
Cynthia Erivo may be casting spells with her performance in the movie “Wicked,” but fans are still finding ways to take her by surprise.
Taking a brief break from the enchanted land of Oz, Erivo visited “Jimmy Kimmel Live” on Tuesday. During the segment, Kimmel asked about the actor’s legendary “war cry” riff from the film’s hit song, “Defying Gravity.” Kimmel was curious if fans imitate the “war cry” at her.
Erivo’s response? “Yes. Randomly. When I don’t ask for it.”
“Do they intro it?” Kimmel asked. No, Erivo said — “Wicked” fans sometimes “go straight into” the song without a hint of warning.
She admitted that she is still trying to figure out how to react to these spontaneous outpourings of love.
