A few weeks after its premiere, Cynthia Erivo explained how the garment served a purpose deeper than just keeping Elphaba warm. “I just wanted to present an opportunity to see this character where everybody, at this point in the film, have seen Elphaba as the strong, fighting woman who is the Wicked Witch as someone who could actually, when on her own, be the opposite, when comfortable enough to be so,” Erivo shared with Deadline at an Airbnb event hosted at a recreation of Elphie’s retreat.
