cynthia erivo plays elphaba, who, in the story of "the wizard of oz," one of the greatest american fairydreamer, you find out that there is more than meets the eye. seeing that story in a totally different point of view is fascinating, interesting, and you get to take apart the american story and put it back together and i loved it. it had a lot of meaning to me, in terms of anyone who feels different and what does it feel like to come through, and also glinda, glinda the good and "wizard of oz," goes through a transition. that she could live in a bubble her whole life and never have to fight for anything because she has that privilege, but at some point, she also has to pop her own bubble and i think that is as much bravery as anyone else. to get off your privilege for a moment, to confront some of the things that we have to confront these days. >> ronny: the way you talk about all of your projects, they are all like that. that's how he talks about everything on set like that. it is real for him. it really is. [applause] i just want to say, you know, thanks so much for believing in me o
