Should You Sing Along at the 'Wicked' Movie?

Ever wondered if it's OK to belt out your favorite tunes from "Wicked" while watching the movie in theaters? Well, Cynthia Erivo, who plays Elphaba, has something to say about that. In a recent interview, she gave the green light to fans who feel like joining in during the film. "It's great, " she said. "We've been singing these songs for so long, it's time for everyone else to join the fun. " This isn't the first time a star has encouraged this kind of audience participation. Dwayne Johnson, known for his role in "Moana 2, " also gave a thumbs up to singing along in theaters.

But not everyone is on board with this idea. Some people think that singing along can be disruptive to others in the audience. In fact, AMC Theatres has a policy against it. Ryan Noonan, a spokesperson for the chain, explained that they ask audiences not to sing to avoid disturbing the experience for others. However, if you're eager to sing along, you won't have to wait long. Special sing-along screenings of "Wicked" are set to start on Christmas Day in about 1, 000 theaters across North America. Besides singing, another topic that's been causing a stir is filming parts of the movie with phones and posting them online. This is not only annoying for other moviegoers but also against the rules. Cynthia Erivo, who plays Elphaba, started her interview by giving Hoda Kotb a bouquet. Kotb is leaving the "Today" show in January, and this was her last time hosting the Thanksgiving parade.
