'Wicked' Stars Cynthia Erivo and Jonathan Bailey are Stunning in New Photos: 'I Needed This'
Cynthia Erivo and Jonathan Bailey are two of Hollywood's biggest stars at the moment. First appearing together in 2024's Wicked, the two have set the world ablaze with their on-screen connection and chemistry in the second act, Wicked: For Good, which hit theaters last month.
The actress now holds the rare feat, alongside her cast member Ariana Grande, of being nominated twice for the same role in back-to-back years.
Lindsay Mendez praised Cynthia Erivo's portrayal of Elphaba in 'Wicked: For Good' in an exclusive interview with PEOPLE. Mendez starred as the witchy character on Broadway, while Erivo portrays Elphaba in 'Wicked' and its follow-up film.
Since the film’s release, fan reception of the cozy wear has ranged from pure obsession to outright bewilderment. During an intimate event held by Airbnb and Universal on the recreated Elphaba’s Retreat set on Wednesday, Deadline asked Erivo about her thoughts on the provocative threads in question.
The Emmy, Grammy and Tony winner is currently in Oscar contention, for the second year in a row, for her portrayal of Elphaba, aka the Wicked Witch of the West, opposite Ariana Grande.
Cynthia Erivo, who stars as Elphaba in 'Wicked' and its sequel, 'Wicked: For Good,' made history as the first Black woman nominated twice in her Golden Globes category.
