While talking about the poster controversy, Cynthia told ET, “It wasn’t necessarily a clap-back. I think I’m really protective of the role and just as I’m passionate about… Well I am passionate about it and I know that the fans are passionate about it, and I think for me it was just like a human moment of like, wanting to protect little Elphaba. And it was a human moment. I probably should’ve called my friends, but, it’s fine.”

Cynthia also says she watched the movie for the first time with Ariana at the Kardashian screening!

“That was a lot of fun. Very emotional, lots of tears, and it was really, really sweet. It was the first time that Ari and I got to watch it together. It was really lovely,” she said.
