Breaking Baz: ‘Wicked’s Cynthia Erivo Will Sink Her Teeth Into 23 Roles For ‘Dracula’ In London’s West End
Cynthia Erivo will play Bram Stoker's vampire and 22 other roles in Dracula, a one-woman theatrical show set for next year in London's West End.
Dracula, adapted and directed by Kip Williams, marks Oscar-nominated Erivo’s return to the stage for the first time since her Tony Award-winning role as Celie in The Color Purple, which she starred in for two years in New York before exiting in January 2017. Wicked: For Good, part two of director Jon M. Chu’s screen adaptation of the Broadway hit musical, opens November 21, while rehearsals for Dracula start late December.
