Erivo is one in all the few stars presented within the Outlet 2025 edition from the series in “Best Performance”, wherein he gives insight into his journey before she became the winner of Tony and Grammy in Broadway “The Color Purple” and a double Oscar nominated for her work in “Harriet” from 2019. Now she is nominated for the Golden Globe in 2025 for the musical extravagance “Wicked”, a job that took her profession in Stratosphereic New Heights.

At the age of 37, Erivo already had a tremendous profession that covered the stage and each small and huge screens, but as he says, confirmation of her undeniable talent began to partially thank the music of one other young star.

“There is a song entitled” Almost not a count “of brandy, from her album” Never Say Never “. I would sing it all the time in the playground – she explained. “For the primary time I sang on stage while playing a crib. I used to be a shepherd and so they asked me for a “quiet night”.

Among the “Wicked” vortex, Erivo was apparently in all places, memes, a really mandatory discussion, a furious fandom and sometimes controversy on this process. Taking the essential role of Elphab, she also brought her own magic brand to the very beloved character of Broadway, drawing similarities between her journey and plenty of black women and girls.

“This is not a secret anymore. I can whistle in tuning as I can whistle, as I sing, “says W.” I learned that I could whistle when I was about 10 years old and never stopped. Now, in a sense, I whistle instead of singing. If I’m at a rehearsal and my throat is tired and I just can’t sing anymore, I whistle instead. “

So what doesn’t Erivo do? Karaoke, if it will probably help.

“I like to listen to other people doing karaoke. But when you are a singer, you finally sing and that’s not the point. We are not here for a concert. It is supposed to be a game, “she explained, adding one small exception that we cannot stop, but we hope to listen to someday – and no, it is just not by brandy.

“But if I had to sing Karaoke’s song, probably” we do not need one other hero “Tina Turner.
