🎤 Should You Sing Along to ‘Wicked’? Cynthia Erivo Gives the Green Light! 🌟

The theater world is buzzing with excitement as Wicked has officially hit the silver screens! 🎬 While the musical has won the hearts of many, a question remains — is it okay to sing along during the movie? Traditionally, movie etiquette has discouraged interactive behavior such as talking or texting. But now, Cynthia Erivo, who portrays Elphaba, has given fans the ultimate thumbs-up to join in on the fun! 🎶

🎤 Empowering Audiences to Sing

During an interview with Hoda Kotb at the 2024 Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, Erivo boldly stated, “I’m OK with it! We spent this long singing it ourselves, it’s time for everyone else to join in. It’s wonderful.” With such an encouraging endorsement, it’s clear that for many fans, belting out the iconic lyrics is part of the collective experience of Wicked. 🦄✨

However, AMC Theaters has a mixed message for moviegoers. They play a preshow spot reminding everyone to keep the experience enjoyable by not disrupting the film with singing or loud behavior. The spokesperson for AMC, Ryan Noonan, expressed the importance of maintaining a cordial atmosphere, saying that “AMC has a long-standing policy that prohibits disruptive behavior.” 📽️

🌟 A Compromise for the Holidays

Good news for all the Wicked enthusiasts! 🎉 On Christmas Day, specific screenings will cater to singalongs, allowing fans to freely express their love for the music in a controlled environment. This is the perfect compromise, giving both the sing-along lovers and those who prefer a quieter experience a chance to enjoy the film their way!
