When asked whether it's appropriate for fans to sing in the theater, "Wicked" star Cynthia Erivo, who plays Elphaba, the Wicked Witch of the West, told NBC that she thinks the practice is " wonderful " and that "it's time for everyone else to join in." Dwayne Johnson, who stars as Maui in "Moana 2," told the BBC that theatergoers who have spent their "hard earned money for a ticket" should be able to sing.
