Wicked Star Ethan Slater On Ariana Grande & Cynthia Erivo's Performance & Working With An Ensemble Cast
That’s the overriding feeling you get watching “Wicked,” the overstuffed adaptation of the hit Broadway music.
The two are students at Shiz University and they’re just trying to find their places. Glinda, naturally, thinks she’s at the top of the pecking order while Elphaba doesn’t want to stand out. Unfortunately, she’s the only green girl in school, which makes it difficult to blend. Madame Morrible , the school’s headmistress, has Elphie pegged for bigger things but, first, there’s the matter of ridding the school of animal professors .
Songs – many of them sing-along worthy – get plenty of attention, complete with complex choreography and a cast of hundreds. In one bit, the OG “Wicked” stars turn up and it’s a neat take on the gossip that swirled around the stage production.The crux of “Wicked,” however, is the relationship between the two women and it works beautifully. Erivo is an open, heart-led actress who conveys Elphaba’s pain without embroidering it on her sleeve. Grande is more open, but not in a showy way.
While some of “Wicked’s” biggest secrets aren’t revealed in the first half, they make the second worth anticipating. Yeoh and Bailey are just getting started here. Ethan Slater and Marissa Bode have big story arcs in the future.
