Cynthia Erivo

Performance, ballet and New York benefit stages

An artist across forms

Cynthia Erivo is an actor and singer whose work moves between stage, film and recorded music. Her roles in The Color Purple, Harriet and Wicked have brought musical performance and dramatic storytelling to different audiences. That range gives context to the cultural institutions featuring her in their benefit programs.

Different institutions, different roles

American Ballet Theatre named Erivo the honoree of its 2026 Fall Gala. Our ABT story connects that recognition with the company’s dancers, fall season and support for its work. At Lincoln Center, our benefit-concert coverage follows the link between a stage performance and the institution’s free and choose-what-you-pay programming. An honor at one event and a performance at another are distinct roles.
