The highly anticipated Wicked movie, starring Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo, has finally hit theaters worldwide, receiving rave reviews from critics. However, a surprising controversy emerged when moviegoers began singing along with the actors during the screening. While some cinemas issued a warning to prevent this, Wicked star Cynthia Erivo showed full support for the audience's enthusiasm. Curious to know what she had to say? Here's everything you need to know about this surprising turn of events!

The film adaptation of the Broadway musical Wicked has been released worldwide, receiving reviews from film critics calling it "the best musical of the year."

The film stars Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo in leading roles.

Both are also singers, which ties in perfectly with the current global trend of musical films.

Those attending Wicked screenings naturally sang along to the songs performed by these two stars. However, cinema chains were not pleased with this.

According to Rolling Stone, AMC has prohibited audiences from talking, crying, flirting, and singing during screenings.

In contrast to the distributor's advisory, Wicked lead actress Cynthia Erivo made a statement expressing the opposite sentiment.

The renowned singer said,

'It’s not a problem for me. As singers, we’ve performed these songs ourselves for so long. Now it’s the audience’s turn. It’s time for everyone to join in with our songs.'
