In 'Wicked: Part I', Cynthia Erivo defies gravity — and convention — as Elphaba

In 'Wicked: Part I', Cynthia Erivo defies gravity — and convention — as Elphaba toggle caption Nickolai Hammar/NPR For more than two decades, the musical Wicked has been a Broadway favorite. Sponsor Message Erivo visited NPR's New York studio before the film's release to talk with All Things Considered host Scott Detrow about stepping into the iconic role. I think there's something about a story — about a person who feels like they're on the outside — who's treated like they're different. I don't think that if I didn't understand what it is like to feel different, what it's like to feel like you're on the outside, that this would have come my way.
