Cynthia Erivo Narrates Wicked Audiobook for RBmedia
RBmedia announced that Elphaba herself, Cynthia Erivo, narrated a new edition of Wicked by Gregory Maguire that is now available for preorder. It will be released on July 1 by Recorded Books.“I’m incredibly excited to narrate ‘Wicked,’ especially after having had the privilege of portraying Elphaba on screen. I feel deeply connected to Elphaba. We have been on quite the journey together, and now I’m eager to begin an adventure with her whilst exploring the full world of ‘Wicked’ and its myriad of other characters in the audiobook. I’m looking forward to bringing this incredible story to life in a new way for listeners, and I hope it resonates as deeply with them as I know it will with me,” Erivo says. “Three decades after its debut, ‘Wicked’ remains one of the most clever revisionist novels of our time,” says Troy Juliar, chief content officer for RBmedia. “In that spirit, we’re revising and updating the narration of the audiobook to feature the novel’s most gifted interpreter. [Erivo]’s work behind the mic, and her exploration of identity and belonging, will resonate with all who encounter it and bring these themes to life in a way that inspires and captivates a new generation.” For more information, read the press release.
