Cynthia Erivo, who was awarded two handfuls of Grammys in addition to a Tony Award for her performance in the Broadway revival of "The Color Purple," is speaking out against a fan-edited poster for "Wicked," which she stars in alongside Ariana Grande.
In the original poster for the film — in which Erivo plays Elphaba Thropp, the Wicked Witch of the West, for the adaptation of the stage musical based on Gregory Maguire's 1995 novel — she's seen in a witch's hat with a green face, staring straight ahead as Grande's character, Galinda Upland, whispers in her ear. But in the fan-edited poster, her hat is pulled down much farther, completely obscuring her eyes, which she takes considerable issue with. Especially since no edits were made to her co-star's likeness in the fan version.
