I love Jennifer. I went to see her in The Color Purple and she looked bored and miserable. Cynthia Erivo basically bodies her 8 shows a week. A star is born with that woman. When we left the theater my mom said, "That girl outsung Jennifer." Me, being a Jennifer fan said, "It's not a competition." But you know what? I can't deny it anymore. Cynthia Erivo slayed the entire audience and left us sobbing. At the end, she got a much louder applause than Jennifer. That has to mess with Jennifer's ego because she received the biggest applause when she came out, but when we left it was "Jennifer who?" That has to be tough. Still luv ha!
Everyone in that cast can SANG though. If you have an opportunity to go, GO! You will not be disappointed. Chicago was good, but this was a totally different experience. Just incredible.
