Wicked” stars Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande have defended how they frequently tear up while discussing the film in interviews.

I’ve watched this like 30 times, and I still can’t parse a single thing going on here,’ fan says about viral interview

In the season premiere of The Envelope, 'Wicked' star Cynthia Erivo on becoming Elphaba and Saoirse Ronan on her pair of awards contenders 'The Outrun' and 'Blitz.'

Let’s set the scene! A reporter from Out.com told Erivo this: “I’ve seen this week, people are taking the lyrics of Defying Gravity and really holding space with that, and feeling power in that.” Erivo got very emotional, saying she didn’t know that had happened and that it was extremely powerful. Grande then held her … finger.

Defying Gravity is one of the most memorable songs in the Wicked stage musical and, for the new movie, the filmmakers and performers didn't cut any corners when bringing the sequence to life. Watch a new video taking viewers behind the scenes with Cynthia Erivo!

I’m completely mesmerized by this clip.. it’s almost like they are speaking a language I don’t understand. I can’t catch the sense of it for a single moment. I’m not understanding the words or the feelings or the energy at all.
