Cynthia Erivo, who stars as Elphaba in the film shares her insights as this year's cover star of Out100. In her cover story, Erivo emphasizes the film's central plot, describing it as a beautiful love story between the two characters, played by her and Ariana Grande. Though Fiyero (played by Jonathan Bailey) is a romantic interest, Erivo insists the real love story is between the women, highlighting how they see each other beyond surface-level insecurities. She adds, "The story of these two is really, really special. And I think that we underestimate the power of platonic love.” The movie is arriving in theaters on November 22. #Lesbian Culture
