In an exclusive interview with PEOPLE, Erivo, 39, shared intriguing details about the concert, hinting at special guests who will join her on stage. “I have a couple of guests,” she revealed during the Toronto International Film Festival, where her much-anticipated film, “Prima Facie,” premiered on 13 September. Notably, she mentioned that one of these guests is someone audiences will recognise well, saying, “And I haven’t sung with this person for a long time.”
This cameo marks a nostalgic reunion for Erivo, as she reflected on their earlier performances together at the start of her illustrious career. “I’m really looking forward to singing with them again,” she added with excitement.
The second guest remains a closely guarded secret, with Erivo only revealing that this individual is relatively new to her audience. “I am a huge fan of his music and I want people to hear his music,” she said, generating anticipation among fans eager to learn who this mystery artist could be.
Erivo’s connection with the Hollywood Bowl isn’t new; she made her debut there in July 2021, performing alongside the acclaimed L.A. Philharmonic Orchestra. Since then, she has become a familiar face at the iconic venue, showcasing her extraordinary talent, including her lead role in last year’s concert rendition of “Jesus Christ Superstar.”
Describing the atmosphere of her upcoming concert, Erivo promised a “good night,” explaining, “We have a good time. It’s very relaxed… but it’s a lot of fun, and I love doing it.” The anticipation for the evening continues to build as she teases that she has been gradually crafting the setlist, tailoring it to provide an engaging experience for her audience. “We’ve been drip-feeding the set list with the things that I want to put into the Hollywood Bowl,” she noted.
Erivo’s latest film, “Prima Facie,” is based on Suzie Miller’s acclaimed stage play and directed by Susanna White. While a release date has not yet been announced, the film features Erivo in a compelling role as Tessa, a barrister who goes from defending clients accused of sexual offences to becoming an accuser herself. Her portrayal promises to be as impactful as Miller’s original play, which earned Jodie Comer both a Laurence Olivier Award and a Tony Award for her performance in the London production.
In addition to “Prima Facie,” Erivo has a slate of exciting projects on the horizon, including “Children of Blood and Bone,” scheduled for release on 14 January 2027, “Karoshi” on 29 January 2027, “Bad Fairies” on 21 May 2027, and “The Road Home.” These forthcoming films continue to highlight her versatility and artistry, further solidifying her status as a multifaceted talent in the entertainment industry.
As the concert approaches, fans can expect an unforgettable evening filled with emotion, joy, and an intimate showcase of Erivo’s musical prowess. With her star power and the allure of surprise guests, “Let Me Sing to You” is set to be a momentous occasion in Los Angeles’ cultural calendar, reflecting Erivo’s enduring legacy as a performer.
