Get Tickets to THE COLOR PURPLE: www.broadway.com/shows/the-col... THE COLOR PURPLE star Cynthia Erivo talks about hearing audience sniffles, texting with Jennifer Hudson, being a fitness fanatic and making her mum proud.
I went to see The Color Purple right before Jennifer Hudson's last performance fully expecting her to steal the show with her powerhouse voice: then Cynthia sang. AMAZING! I got goosebumps everytime she opened her mouth to sing. Great show, absolutely stellar performances.
When she said Pippin I damn near screamed bc SHE WOULD BE SUCH A PHENOMENAL LEADING PLAYER!!! Pippin was the first show I saw on broadway and Patina Miller killedt that role and so would Cynthia Erivo, just thinking about it makes my heart race
LOOOOVE HER! This interviewer keeps interrupting people though, would've been nice to hear her keep going on her thoughts. But she is brilliant brilliant stunning! And don't even get me started live...when I saw her...OMG.
I was fortunate enough to see her as Celie back in February and her performance completely and utterly blew me away. I have never been in a theater that's had the sort of reaction from the audience that The Color Purple did (and I've seen Hamilton!). I think both the audience reaction, and the fact that she performs the role with such power and emotion, is a true testament to her talent, and I truly hope she wins a Tony for her performance.
