Cynthia Erivo is already going to the Oscars as a best actress nominee for “ Wicked ,” but some have expected the star to have a bigger spotlight during the ceremony. As reported by Puck, the Academy is looking to open the telecast with a medley of “Wicked” songs performed by Erivo and her co-star Ariana Grande.

The actress who is nominated for her role as the Wicked Witch of the West says that there is no reason for the Academy Award to feature a medley of songs from the film.

Cynthia Erivo thinks winning an Oscar would be life-changing. Her nomination marks a significant milestone in her career, which spans over 15 years in entertainment.
