Heather Hitchens, President & CEO of the American Theatre Wing, and Jason Laks, President of The Broadway League, praised Erivo’s impact on musical theater. “Through performances on both stage and screen, Cynthia has extended the magic of musical theater to millions of new fans around the globe — and that is exactly the mission of the Tony Awards,” they stated. “Her talent defies gravity and boundaries, and we are beyond thrilled to welcome her home to Broadway for what will be a joyful and inspiring celebration of the theatrical artform.”

Erivo first rose to fame with her performance as Celie in The Color Purple, which earned her a Tony Award for Best Leading Actress in a Musical in 2016. She has since built a distinguished career across theater, film, and television. Most recently, she starred as Elphaba in Wicked: Part One, the record-breaking film adaptation of the beloved Broadway musical. 

Released in November 2024, the film became the highest-grossing movie ever based on a Broadway show. Erivo’s portrayal earned her multiple award nominations, including from the Golden Globes, SAG, BAFTA, and the Academy Awards.
