THIS IS A LONG ONE SO STICK WITH ME 💚
I realize I’ve said very little about my experience on Wicked and thats mainly because I’ve been keeping my head down and mining this beautifully complex being that is Elphaba, and it’s really hard to put into words. It is day 111 and yesterday we finished filming “I’m Not That Girl” when we had come to the end of that moment, my heart broke open and tears fell. (Please know this happens OFTEN) I thought of us, the ones who often feel like they’re on the outside. The ones who don’t know that their differences, oddities, quirks are what make them beautiful and special. The ones who, for some reason, believe they can’t be loved and I felt proud to sing a song that might speak to those feelings. I am endlessly grateful to play a role that turns the notion of what beauty is on its head, I am endlessly grateful to be working with some of the most beautiful souls on the planet and I’m already grieving for the day our little bubble must come to an end. I desperately hope that when you finally see this film, you’ll see you, you’ll see me, you’ll see Jon and Ari and our hearts laid bare, you’ll see pain and joy and maybe just maybe you’ll see a little spark of light that says, you are who you are for a reason and you are deserving of happiness and even though sometimes it might be hard to find, it is there for the taking. I hope all the bumps and scrapes and scars that you’ve picked up along the way, get a little healing when you finally relax in a theater with a snack a drink and hopefully, friends you bring or friends you find when you’re there.
Love your Elphie
Cynthia E

In 2021 we made a film, it had a tiny budget but has a huge heart. Sometimes we make movies because the story won’t let you rest, this piece stuck with me, Jacquline stuck with me so we made Drift.
I don’t know how many eyes will see this movie or ears will hear, but for those eyes that see and those ears that hear, this was made with so much love, so much heart, pain. I’m all in there. ‘DRIFT’ was my sweet aria and I hope you get a chance to experience it. Starts first on a screen in NYC February 9th then it’ll hopefully find its way to a theatre near you if you don’t live in New York. 💙
Oh, and Laura Mvula, thank you so much for making music with me for this.

Introducing our Power Issue cover star, @cynthiaerivo!
It’s hard to picture Cynthia Erivo as anything but a standout. Her style choices are fearless, she sees fashion as a form of art, and she always makes a splash on the red carpet. In fact, everything about the actress, singer-songwriter, and children’s book author exudes, well, power.
“Being powerful is every day finding what the most authentic version of yourself is that day and sticking with it,” says Erivo.
At the #linkinbio learn how our cover star taps into her creativity and makes time to work on herself — even at 2 a.m.

For #WorldRefugeeDay, I am reading this passage with @refugees from ‘Walking Our Boundaries’ by Audre Lorde. Her words remind us that even after the darkest times, there is light and the promise of new beginnings. Today we honor the strength and courage of refugees around the world. Let today be an opportunity to start to create a world where refugees are always welcome. #WithRefugees
