Erivo won a Tony Award in 2016 for her breakout role in the revival of “The Color Purple.” Since then, she has expanded her career into film, television, and music.

After the Tony Awards, Erivo will return to the stage with exciting performances lined up for next year. In August, she will take on the role of Jesus in a special one-weekend run of “Jesus Christ Superstar” at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles. Following that, she is set to star in a one-woman adaptation of “Dracula” in London's West End early next year, further showcasing her versatility as a performer.
