Cynthia Erivo will be honored at American Ballet Theatre’s 2026 Fall Gala: Angels and Demons on Thursday, Oct. 29, at the David H. Koch Theater at Lincoln Center in New York City.
A Grammy, Daytime Emmy and Tony Award winner and three-time Academy Award nominee, Erivo has become one of the most lauded artists of her generation. Erivo’s portrayal of Elphaba in the Wicked films earned her widespread recognition. In 2025 she received her second career Grammy for “Defying Gravity” from the first Wicked film, performed with her co-star, Ariana Grande. Earlier this year, she returned to the West End in Dracula, taking on 23 characters in an ambitious one-woman production.
