00:03 - Well, whenever anyone asks me, like, what's the one movie
00:07 you want to do?
00:10 If there was one, I'd always say it'd be "Wicked."
00:12 - On my 25th birthday, I took myself to see the show.
00:20 I'd never heard anything or seen anything like it.
00:22 I remember that.
00:22 It was like a rainy night, and I felt really alive.
00:28 I felt like I was floating on air.
00:30 [MUSIC PLAYING]
00:33 - I had the incredible privilege of seeing the original Broadway
00:36 cast of "Wicked" when I was 10, and I just
00:39 felt an immediate bond.
00:41 - I'm sure that you have dreamed of playing
00:43 one of the two roles.
00:44 Would you be Elphaba or Glinda?
00:45 - Glinda.
00:45 - You'd be Glinda?
00:46 - For sure.
00:48 - It had a very personal effect on me.
00:50 This is a very cinematic show.
00:52 This should be on the big screen.
00:54 - There's sort of this innate understanding
00:57 of what it feels like to be someone who's different.
01:01 - It's always been the thing that I listen to when
01:03 I'm nervous, when I'm needing an escape, when I need comfort.
01:07 - Wait a minute.
01:07 Wait a minute.
01:10 - I went in for my first audition,
01:12 and I just remember being, like, buzzing.
01:16 - And when she came in, she was an Ari
01:18 that I'd never seen before.
01:21 - And then I got the call to come in.
01:23 [KNOCKING]
01:25 [MUSIC PLAYING]
01:28 - Cynthia is so raw and vulnerable,
01:31 and I couldn't get her out of my head.
01:35 - The world needs to see more of you,
01:38 and we would love for you to be our Elphaba.
01:41 - It's been a really long journey,
01:44 and I'm really grateful for it.
01:48 I never thought in my lifetime that I
01:52 would get to be a part of something like this.
01:55 - We want you to be our Glinda the Good.
01:59 - Oh, my god.
02:00 Thank you.
02:01 I love her so much.
02:02 I'm going to take such good care of her.
02:03 Thank you so much.
02:06 - I want people to see "Wicked" and experience it in a way
02:09 they've never experienced it before.
02:12 I want them to feel what I felt going into that theater
02:15 for the first time.
02:17 I want to make them laugh, to make them sing,
02:20 to make them feel that after they've watched it,
02:22 they've been changed for good.
02:24 - Woo-hoo!
02:24 [LAUGHTER]
