Cynthia Erivo shares how fans try to recreate her iconic battle cry from 'Defying Gravity' without even introducing themselves.

“Poor Cynthia Erivo ” might seem like an odd thing to think about a Grammy-winning, Oscar-nominated superstar whose film Wicked is edging its way toward billion-dollar box office returns. But if I had to suffer through civilians singing my own meme-making vocal runs back at me in public, I might be willing to trade it all back.

Taking a brief break from the enchanted land of Oz, Erivo visited “ Jimmy Kimmel Live ” on Tuesday. During the segment, Kimmel asked about the actor’s legendary “ war cry ” riff from the film’s hit song, “Defying Gravity.” Kimmel was curious if fans imitate the “war cry” at her.
