00:04
Well, whenever anyone asks me, like,
00:05
"What's the one movie you want to do?"
00:09
If there was one, I'd always say it'd be "Wicked."
00:12
♪♪
00:15
On my 25th birthday, I took myself to see the show.
00:18
I'd never heard anything or seen anything like it.
00:21
I remember that. It was, like, a rainy night,
00:22
and I felt really alive.
00:26
I felt like I was floating on air.
00:31
I had the incredible privilege of seeing
00:34
the original Broadway cast of "Wicked" when I was 10,
00:37
and I just felt an immediate bond.
00:40
I'm sure that you have dreamed of playing
00:42
one of the two roles. Would you be Elphaba or Glinda?
00:43
Glinda.
00:44
You'd be Glinda? For sure.
00:47
It had a very personal effect on me.
00:49
This is a very cinematic show.
00:51
This should be on the big screen.
00:53
There's sort of this innate understanding
00:56
of what it feels like to be someone who's different.
01:00
It's always been the thing that I listen to when I'm nervous,
01:03
when I'm needing an escape, when I need comfort.
01:06
Wait a minute. Wait a minute.
01:09
I went in for my first audition,
01:11
and I just remember being, like, buzzing.
01:14
And when she came in,
01:16
she was an Ari that I'd never seen before.
01:19
And then I got the call to come in.
01:22

01:27
Cynthia is so raw and vulnerable,
01:30
and I couldn't get her out of my head.
01:32
♪♪
01:34
The world needs to see more of you.
01:37
We would love for you to be our Elphaba.
01:40
It's been a really long journey,
01:43
and I'm really grateful for it.
01:45
♪♪
01:47
I never thought in my lifetime
01:51
that I would get to be a part of something like this.
01:54
We want you to be our Glinda the Good.
01:58
Oh, my God. Thank you.
01:59
I love her so much.
02:01
I'm gonna take such good care of her.
02:02
Thank you so much.
02:05
I want people to see "Wicked"
02:07
and experience it in a way they've never experienced it before.
02:11
I want them to feel what I felt
02:13
going into that theater for the first time.
02:16
I want to make them laugh, to make them sing,
02:19
to make them feel that after they've watched it,
02:21
they've been changed for good.
