Cynthia Erivo, an acclaimed British singer and actor, recently performed with the Houston Symphony, showcasing her interpretations of classic songs. Renowned for her role in "Wicked" and as a Tony Award winner, Erivo is gearing up for a national tour, aiming to create a more relaxed concert atmosphere. She reflects on the creative freedom she enjoys, including making her own styling choices and even performing barefoot to foster better connection with her audience. Her upcoming solo album continues this exploratory spirit, blending personal artistry with her theatrical roots.
"It's one of my favorite things to do," she says of the concert, a version of which she's booked to bring to cities across the country this year.
Yet for shows like the one in Houston, Erivo is aiming for something looser, more spontaneous, slightly lower-key.
I was like, 'I'm sorry - I'm taking them off.' Then I thought: What if I just started without?"
I'm good at being in heels. But other times you just want to feel connected.
