I was fiercely protective of this character, because I really wanted for people to see
00:14
her as more than just the green girl.
00:17
You're green.
00:20
I am.
00:23
I really wanted for people to see her humanity, and her light, and her joy, so that we could
00:41
go on a journey together.
00:59
The wonderful Wizard of Oz summons you to the Emerald City.
01:03
I'm kind of overwhelmed by how much outpouring there has been.
01:07
I'm really overwhelmed by how much love there is, and how much want there is to see this
01:11
film.
01:12
I knew you'd understand.
01:13
That makes me, that makes me so happy.
01:18
I feel extremely lucky to be the conduit to be able to give this to people, and I'm glad
01:28
that there's such warm, open arms waiting to receive us.
01:35
I don't know if I've had a greater thrill than flying around on wires whilst singing
01:42
live.
01:48
It's a really strange sensation, because I have to shift the way I breathe in order to
01:52
sing.
01:55
It is one of the most exhilarating feelings ever.
02:08
I remember watching Cynthia perform at the Oscars, and being in utter awe of her, and
02:14
thinking, there's no better performer on the planet.
02:17
I remember being so moved, and just thinking, I hope I get the chance to sing with her one
02:21
day.
02:22
And here we are.
02:23
You can do anything.
02:24
I know.
02:26
The way Cynthia plays Elphaba is just such a masterclass.
02:32
I saw all the innocence, and all the love for a character like this, it's in her eyes.
02:39
You see a personal connection.
02:41
It was very moving.
02:46
I love Elphaba for who she is, and what she represents, and what she's going to mean to
02:52
other people.
02:54
I'm not afraid.
02:57
It's the wizard who should be afraid of me.
03:01
And I hope that whoever watches this, whoever feels like they don't fit, like they're different
03:11
or odd, I hope that they feel seen, because I know I did.
03:17
Wicked encourages us to share all the sides of ourselves, and not be afraid to be open
03:28
about who we are, as long as it comes from kindness and love.
03:32
There's real wonder and defiance in this beautiful character, and I think there's a
03:47
bit of wonder and defiance in a lot of us.
03:50
There's certainly wonder and defiance in me.
03:52
Come with me.
03:53
Think of what we could do together.
03:57
If I can keep that wonder alive, if I can keep the magic alive in anyone, then I'm doing
04:05
the right job.
