Wicked’s Cynthia Erivo Whistles “Somewhere Over the Rainbow”

With her upcoming role as Elphaba (the one-day Wicked Witch of the West) in Universal’s upcoming big screen adaptation of the Broadway hit and bestseller Evilstar Cynthia Erivo is ready to shine in the singing and acting department once again. But as Jimmy Fallon fans well know, the multi-hyphenate has even more tricks up its sleeve.

On The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon last night the host went so far as to wonder if Erivo is actually the best whistler anyone has ever heard. Ever. Sure, Erivo has won countless awards, including an Emmy, a Tony, and a Grammy, but can any of that hold up to the honor of being the world’s greatest whistler?

With Erivo dressed in an obvious black hat tip to Elphaba’s The Wizard of Oz future, Fallon asked if she would be kind enough to give the audience a little whistle, as she had spectacularly done on a previous visit to the show with a stunning rendition of “I’ll Be Home for Christmas”. So how could she top it? How about another hat tip to Wizard’s magical land of Oz: “Somewhere Over the Rainbow”?

As you can clearly see in the video above, Erivo is a generational talent, whether it’s acting, singing, whistling or just delighting a late show crowd. And she is sure to please the masses again soon Evil hits theaters everywhere later this month.

John M. Chu’s film centers around Erivo’s Elphaba alongside Ariana Grande’s Glinda and is a prequel to the 1939s The Wizard of Ozwhich shows a completely different side to the film’s antagonist, The Wicked Witch of the West. Before she has the evil moniker thrust upon her by the perhaps more evil Wizard of Oz (Jeff Goldblum), Elphaba is just a student at the Shiz School of Magic, learning to harness her undoubted talents. Perhaps one of those talents is whistling?

You have to see for yourself when Evil –– also starring Michelle Yeoh, Jonathan Bailey, Peter Dinklage, Ethan Slater and Bowen Yang –– hits theaters everywhere on November 22.
