Cynthia needs more love, she ate and left no crumbs as Elphaba and she's such a wonderful person in all these interviews

[hxpewxrld]

Oh my god the whistling sounded like an old school Disney princess movie, that was amazing.

[moonedan]

I just wanna say, Cynthia is such a breath of fresh air! Those whistles, that voice that she has. She just keep on shining throughh!!

[KCNwokoye]

Wow Cynthia's whistling is excellent. It deserves its own Grammy.

[AndySaenz]

Even her whistling is beautiful! It sounds like a bird, it has a nice little vibrato to it. She’s so cool. 😎

[sivenaudios]

cynthia is honestly an amazing actor! she did so good on wicked and in various movie that she has been :) AND THOSE WHISTLES GIRL, angel

[irahkimberly]

I just love to listen to her talk. She's more upbeat here, on other interviews her voice is more buttery, silky, on some she's so direct and velvety. And I love it every single time. She's mesmerizing.

So lovely to realize her first time seeing Wicked was with Rachel Tucker as Elphaba, who also happened to be my first Elphaba and she absolutely floored me. Cynthia's Elphaba is so completely different, but similarly real and connected. Just love it.

Pavorotti was also able to mimic a bird’s whistle. I just find that so beautiful that singers find each other regardless of species. Human’s and birds. Cynthia’s whistle surprised me but makes total sense 😍
