One Night, One Voice, Cynthia Erivo Returns to the Hollywood Bowl
A year after playing Jesus there, Cynthia Erivo headlines the Hollywood Bowl on October 15 with her new solo show.
Cynthia Erivo is coming back to the Hollywood Bowl, this time with her name alone on the marquee. On Thursday, October 15, she headlines a solo concert for one night only with her new show, Let Me Sing to You. The music starts at 7:30 p.m. and gates open at 6 p.m.
She will not be entirely alone up there. “I have a couple guests,” Erivo told PEOPLE in September. “One you will know very, very well,” she said. “And I haven’t sung with this person for a long time in front of people. But we have sung together before, and it was right at the beginning of my career. And so I’m really looking forward to singing with them again.” The other, she said, “is quite new to our audience, but I am a huge fan of his music and I want people to hear his music.”
The Bowl already knows her well. PEOPLE reported that she made her Bowl debut in July 2021 with the LA Phil and has returned a handful of times since. In the summer of 2025 she played Jesus in Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Jesus Christ Superstar, the Bowl’s annual summer musical, for performances August 1 through 3, directed and choreographed by Sergio Trujillo, NBC News reported. CBS Los Angeles reported that she led the Bowl’s 2025 summer season lineup, and Variety’s critic found it hard to conceive of a better-sung Jesus.
Her screen career has run alongside. She played Elphaba in Universal’s two Wicked films. The first opened November 22, 2024, and became the highest grossing movie ever at the domestic box office based on a Broadway musical, according to the Bowl, and the second, Wicked For Good, opened November 21, 2025. PEOPLE noted that she has also starred in a one-woman Dracula on London’s West End.
The Bowl bills her as an Emmy, Tony and two-time Grammy winner and a three-time Oscar nominee. The full program for Let Me Sing to You has not been published, and Erivo told PEOPLE she has been “drip-feeding the set list with the things that I want to put into the Hollywood Bowl.”
Live Nation and Hewitt Silva present the concert. Tickets are sold through Ticketmaster, and the Bowl’s house rules bar glass, cans and alcohol at the gate. Velvet also covered Miley’s first Hollywood Bowl show.
