Ariana Grande & Cynthia Erivo – What's Really Going On? This week on The Rest Is PR, Jacki and Lyle break down one of the strangest celebrity press tours in recent memory, as Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo continue their Wicked promotional run, complete with unusually touchy-feely interviews, defensive responses, and a swirl of unfounded online theories. Jacki opens by praising the Wicked PR machine for its consistency and message discipline, even as speculation online grows about the pair’s dynamic. She emphasises that, from a pure comms perspective, the strategy is tight and controlled, but that public perception is a different story. Lyle isn’t so convinced. He questions whether audiences genuinely buy the 'best friends' narrative the duo keeps selling, or whether over-the-top nature of their appearances is actually fuelling more speculation. The conversation then turns to the rumour mill itself - from claims about Grande’s health to wild theories about her relationship with Erivo. Jacki stresses the importance of separating fact from fan-fiction while also exploring a bigger question - are either of the film’s leading ladies shaping up to be positive role models for young fans, especially given the speculation around behind-the-scenes behaviour?

Cynthia Erivo, currently starring in Wicked: For Good , visited her old high school in the U.K., as documented in a BBC Radio 1 video. The students reacted with immense excitement to her arrival. During her visit, Erivo answered questions and shared that seeing the girls in her old school was the most rewarding moment of her stardom. The most emotional part of the visit was when Erivo joined the students in singing "For Good" from Wicked , a moment that resonated deeply given her journey from those very classrooms to Broadway and Hollywood.

It’s the reunion we’ve all been waiting for since they connected and cried together during the ‘Wicked’ press tour. Now, with her brand new album ‘I Forgive You’ finally available to download and stream, Em reunites with one of her personal heroes, the one and only Cynthia Erivo. Together they revisit the tears that somehow had the whole world crying (or weirdly in some cases seething with anger). There’s also chat about Cynthia’s recent Coachella performance, the elite level of her attire on the day and why the ‘Waiting to Exhale’ soundtrack is the best movie soundtrack EVER! Then it’s on to reviewing and discussing her new album ‘I Forgive You’, which Em has had an advance copy of that she’s been playing on repeat. Naturally Em’s gone deep in her analysis and review of it, MUCH to Cynthia’s utter joy, so prepare to discover layers to the album you might have missed, and hear about the inspiration and difficulty of writing and recording it. Finally Em also manages to squeeze in a quick chat about Cynthia hosting the upcoming Tony Awards and also how not ready she is to witness Cynthia and Ariana Grande take on ‘For Good’ in Wicked 2, with Cynthia offering some VERY useful advice about seeing the movie. Then in our Sealed Section, on our premium service Emsolation Extra, Em and her bestie Michael talk baby goats, Lady Gaga’s Tudum appearance, new season ‘Wednesday’ and ‘Hacks’, plus they dive into the controversy over Patti Lupone’s latest interview.

It’s the moment SOME of us thought would never happen, and that some of us is Em, because AS IF this would ever happen! How could it be possible that Em would get to sit across from Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande, two sing-gers, and the leads of the new movie version of her all time favourite musical Wicked? Somehow, Em not only got to do chats with Cynthia and Ariana, who play Elphaba & Glinda in the movie, but also Marissa Bode who plays Elphaba’s sister Nessarose, and Ethan Slater, who’s Ariana Grande’s boyfriend and also appears in the film as the lovable munchkin Boq. Watch or listen as Em keeps Cynthia and Ariana entertained throughout their chat, from informing them of the neurodivergent love of the musical, to giving them props for the final result and so much more.
