Cynthia Erivo’s Voice ‘Still Missing in Action’ After Wicked N.Y.C. Premiere

Cynthia Erivo, the talented actress and singer, is currently facing a challenge as her voice remains ‘missing in action’ following the premiere of Wicked: For Good in New York City. Despite her best efforts, Erivo had to skip most press interviews at the movie’s N.Y.C. premiere alongside her co-star Ariana Grande on Monday, Nov. 17, after losing her voice.

In a recent appearance on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon to promote the Wicked sequel, Erivo confessed that her voice was still recovering. She humorously described her low, quiet voice as “kind of sexy,” showcasing her positive attitude even in the face of adversity.

Both Erivo and Grande were unable to participate in many press interviews at the premiere, with Universal Pictures announcing in advance that Erivo was struggling with her voice. However, they did grace the event’s red carpet with their presence and briefly engaged with a livestream hosted at the premiere.

During the livestream, Grande emphasised the importance of letting Erivo rest her voice, highlighting their long-standing friendship and the significance of celebrating the premiere together in New York City. Erivo also expressed her gratitude for finishing the journey where it all began, at the Gershwin Theatre in New York, where Wicked has its roots.

Despite the challenges with her voice, Erivo has been actively promoting both Wicked and her new book, Simply More, as part of her busy schedule. From attending premieres to fulfilling media obligations, she has been on a whirlwind tour to bring attention to her projects.

In a heartwarming moment, Erivo surprised an all-girls choir at her former school in London during a visit with BBC Radio 1. The students were performing Wicked’s “For Good,” one of Erivo’s iconic songs from the new Wicked sequel, adding a personal touch to her promotional activities.

As Wicked: For Good hits theatres on November 21, fans eagerly anticipate Erivo’s return to full voice and the captivating performances she is known for delivering. Despite the setbacks, her resilience and commitment to her craft shine through, demonstrating her dedication to her artistry.

In conclusion, Cynthia Erivo’s journey through challenges with her voice serves as a testament to her strength and passion for her work. With the support of her fans and colleagues, she continues to navigate obstacles with grace and determination, inspiring others along the way. As she overcomes this hurdle, audiences can look forward to experiencing her remarkable talent once again on stage and screen.
