It appears Cousins didn’t get the memo though that theaters sent out because he admitted to singing along with the movie musical.
“The thing I was doing in the theater was singing along. So I kind of was waiting for my wife to nudge me to stop doing that. But when Elphaba goes into ‘The Wizard and I,’ it’s hard not to. Then ‘Defying Gravity’ it’s hard not to.”

Cousins explained that his love for the musical went back to his high school days when he sang in choir and when he saw the musical production in college.
The Falcons quarterback also appeared on “Pardon my Take” podcast where he brought up wanting to appear in a musical one day.
“A retirement goal is to be like a background person in like a local musical in my hometown,” Cousins said. “Have you know like people come to the show and be like ‘Is that Cousins in the background?’”
