Wicked's Cynthia Erivo officially ends movie's controversial audience singing debate

So many moviegoers have been flocking to see Wicked, including folks like Falcons quarterback Kirk Cousins, who admitted to singing along in the theatre.

Unfortunately, not everyone has been belting out notes. Some people, like For The Win’s Cory Woodroof, are not huge fans of others singing mid-movie. (Cory recently begged watchers not to sing along — “for the love of Oz.”) However, there’s been a development. One of the film’s biggest stars, Cynthia Erivo, officially settled the controversial singing debate during an appearance on the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade.

How does she feel about the singing? “Good!” Cynthia happily told the TODAY show crew. “I’m okay with it. We spent this long singing it ourselves. It’s time for everyone else to join in. It’s wonderful.” BOOM. CASE CLOSED. Carry on, everyone. (See the 1:07 mark in the clip below.)
