Cynthia Erivo recalls being 'ill by the end' of her 3-hour Wicked audition

Singer and actress Cynthia Erivo recently opened up about her audition for the upcoming movie "Wicked." She said that she was "ill by the end" of the 3-hour audition and that she was "in bed for the next week."

Erivo said that she was "so nervous" for the audition that she "could barely speak." She also said that she had a "lot of pressure" on her to do well because she was a big fan of the musical.

Despite her nerves, Erivo said that she "gave it her all" and that she was "really happy" with how the audition went. She also said that she is "excited" to see the final product.

Wicked is a musical with music and lyrics by Stephen Schwartz and a book by Winnie Holzman.

The musical tells the story of two witches, Elphaba and Glinda, who are best friends and roommates at Shiz University. Elphaba is green-skinned and has magical powers, while Glinda is beautiful and popular.

The musical has been a critical and commercial success, winning numerous awards, including three Tony Awards and two Grammy Awards. It has been praised for its catchy songs, its complex characters, and its beautiful sets and costumes.

Cynthia Erivo is set to play Elphaba in the upcoming movie adaptation of Wicked.

Erivo is a Tony and Grammy Award-winning actress and singer. She is best known for her roles in the Broadway musicals "The Color Purple" and "Company." She also starred in the movies "Harriet" and "Bad Times at the El Royale."

Erivo is a talented actress and singer, and she is sure to give a great performance as Elphaba. She is a perfect choice to play the role, and I am excited to see her bring Elphaba to life on the big screen.
