Cynthia Erivo vs. Idina Menzel: Who’s the Better Elphaba? When it comes to character development, Cynthia Erivo’s Elphaba in the Wicked movie benefits from extra screen time. The Broadway show has lesser runtime, often rushing key moments in Elphaba’s arc. In contrast, Wicked: Part 1 runs 2 hours and 40 minutes, allowing more depth, like scenes of Elphaba in magic class or one-on-one with Fiyero, making her feel more real. Comparing performances is tricky due to the differences in stage and screen acting. Stage actors, like Idina Menzel, exaggerate movements for large audiences, while screen actors, like Erivo, focus on subtle nuances. Erivo’s Elphaba is quietly confident but emotionally intense, while Menzel portrays Elphaba as initially insecure, growing into fiery confidence. Menzel’s interpretation offers more emotional variety, showcasing Elphaba’s internal struggle in dynamic ways. While both bring unique strengths, Menzel edges ahead due to her iconic “Defying Gravity” performance. Still, Erivo’s Elphaba is exceptional, perfectly suited for the film’s expanded story.
