A “Wicked” surprise is coming to WorldPride in Washington, D.C. this summer. Event organizers announced Tuesday that “Wicked” star Cynthia Erivo, who played Elphaba in the film, will light up night one of WorldPride’s Street Festival and Concert on June 7.

After Wicked star Cynthia Erivo lost out to actress Mikey Madison in the Best Actress category at the Oscars, one body language expert has analyzed her reaction to the disappointing news

Erivo is something of an Oscars veteran at this point. The near-EGOT winner has two more nominations under her belt and has appeared on the carpet several times over the past few years. One of her standout looks came in 2024, when she kicked off the Wicked press tour early on the red carpet in an emerald-green leather gown by Louis Vuitton.
