Her posts follow a heartfelt message from her co-star Cynthia Erivo, who portrays Elphaba, shared on Instagram as filming wrapped up.
Unable to find adequate words to express her emotions, Erivo wrote, “The universe will take things away to make space for the grand gifts it has waiting for us.”
“This moment, this film, these people, this cast, this crew, this director, my Glinda, were the grandest gift I could ever have asked for,” Erivo, 37, added, alongside a photo of her character’s shadow on stage. “I hope when you meet her, you’ll love her as much and as fiercely as I do. And with that I say, that’s a wrap for me, Elphie out!! 💚💚💚.”
