Cynthia Erivo’s Emotional Homecoming Leaves Everyone in Tears
What happened at Cynthia Erivo’s old school recently could only be described as one of those heart-melting moments that stay with you long after you hear about them. So, picture this: a group of choir students are quietly rehearsing the song “For Good,” completely unaware that the very person who made the song iconic is just steps away from walking into their classroom.
When Cynthia Erivo finally enters, the room freezes for a moment—then everything explodes into shrieks, gasps, and the kind of excited chaos only kids meeting a hero can create. These students had absolutely no idea she was coming, and the shock on their faces says it all. What makes it even more touching is that Cynthia herself starts tearing up the moment she sees them. But the emotional peak is reached when the kids resume singing “For Good,” this time performing it directly for her. Watching them honor her in such a heartfelt way leaves her openly crying, and honestly, it’s not hard to understand why.

After the performance, the students get a chance to ask her questions, and one of them decides to go straight for the big one: “What has been the most rewarding moment of your career so far?” Cynthia doesn’t hesitate. She simply answers, “This.” That’s it. No long explanation needed. You can feel how deeply this moment touched her, maybe even more than any award or record-breaking film could.
And then comes the part everyone was hoping for: Cynthia joins the students to sing “For Good” with them. The room fills with harmonies and pure joy, and the entire space feels transformed. Before she leaves, the kids ask if she can do her famous “Defying Gravity” battle cry from Wicked—and she happily gives them exactly what they want. It’s one of those tiny details that just makes the whole moment feel magical.
All of this is happening just as Wicked: For Good is about to premiere. The film will complete a two-part musical journey that began in 2024, when the first Wicked movie smashed box office records and won multiple Oscars. Cynthia was even nominated for Best Actress for her role. And now, with the sequel arriving, she’s on the brink of becoming an EGOT winner—an incredibly rare achievement.
But even with all that success, this surprise visit proves that sometimes the most meaningful moments come from going back to where everything began. Watching her stand among those students, singing and crying and laughing—it’s clear that this homecoming changed everyone in the room “for good.”
