‘Wicked’ star Cynthia Erivo has spoken out about an internet debate about audience behavior: Should fans sing along to the film’s classic showtunes while seeing it in theaters?

Erivo, who plays Elphaba, allowed moved fans to sing along during an interview during Thursday’s Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, airing on NBC. Hoda Kotb asked her if it was okay to sing along in the theater since so many fans were doing it, to which Erivo replied, “Fine. I’m okay with it. We have sung it ourselves for so long; it’s time for everyone to get involved. It’s great.”

Erivo joins Dwayne Johnson as the latest celebrity to encourage fans to sing along during a musical at the movies, with Johnson saying on the carpet of the animated musical “Moana 2” that fans should, “Sing!” You paid your hard-earned money for a ticket, you went to a musical, and you love it. Sing.”

The crowd singing of ‘Wicked’ has sparked online debate as some ticket buyers only want to hear the professionals in the film. AMC Theaters spokesperson Ryan Noonan recently gave an interview explaining why the chain asked the audience not to sing: “AMC has long-standing policies prohibiting disruptive behavior. The ‘Wicked’ preshow spot (which includes ‘no singing’) incorporates the film’s themes as a fun, engaging reminder to moviegoers not to disrupt the experience for those around them as they enjoy the show.”

Fans only have to wait a few weeks to sing along with Erivo and Ariana Grande; interactive sing-along screenings of the film will premiere on Christmas Day. These showtimes will take place in approximately 1,000 North American theaters.

Singing along isn’t the only behavior at screenings of “Wicked” that has sparked debate. Certain fans have taken to filming parts of their movie on their phones and posting them online, which is not only disruptive to other moviegoers but also illegal.

Erivo started the interview by presenting Kotb with a bouquet, as the longtime “Today” host will be leaving the show in January and this will be her last time hosting the Thanksgiving parade.
