Ariana Grande, Cynthia Erivo and More Best Red Carpet Moments From the ‘Wicked’ Premiere
Lena Waithe is dancing through life to the sound of her partner Cynthia Erivo’s voice.
The Master of None writer continues to support the Tony Award winner’s performance in Wicked—for which she and costar Ariana Grande are nominated for Golden Globes—by having the movie’s soundtrack on repeat.
In fact, Lena recently admitted that the song “What Is This Feeling?” from the film is currently the one she has on replay, sharing at Saint & Citizen Presents: Saint Sessions Live’s Miami Art Week Edition Dec. 7, “I would say ‘Loathing’ is in my head right now.”
“You’re not alone,” she added of fans belting out the tune. “You can’t get it out of your head.”
And while Lena—who seemingly publicly debuted her relationship with Cynthia in 2022—also noted that “Defying Gravity” is another favorite, her praise for her partner extends beyond the movie’s music.
The Chi creator shared multiple posts to her Instagram Story Dec. 9 lauding the Oscar nominee, including a Dec. 9 post from Evan Ross Katz that cheekily celebrated Cynthia and Ariana’s Golden Globe nominations by adjusting one of the film’s lines about Elphaba’s green skin to, “You’re [Golden Globe nominated].”
