“Imagine, with the right cast, this film had the potential to be a hit. Instead, they got a lead actress that thinks that her role was specifically made for her and is abusive towards the stage show’s fans,” one reader stated concerning Erivo.
“This film deserves to bomb and will be less successful than Cats.”
“I am so gutted [Ariana] was allowed to be Glinda. Oz fans deserved better,” another said.
“I’m already tired of this movie and all the promos,” wrote one viewer. “Ariana has some disorder. Why is she always pulling little scared girl faces?”

Her upper arms are very skinny and so are her legs. You dont get this skinny without either having an eating disorder or some kind illness. This isn’t hate, she’s genuinely so fucking stunning, but someone rarely gets this skinny without under-eatingpic.twitter.com/DY40kXsq2j
