Cynthia Erivo plays 23 roles in West End adaptation of Dracula -.

Theater performances and shows are not as popular as they once were, but they are still a popular form of entertainment. We still tend to see many big stars taking a break from film and TV to do a series of performances on stage, and one of the next to do so is Cynthia Erivo.

TheWicked star will soon be seen in the international version of director Kip Williams’ Dracula play, which previously premiered in Australia for the Sydney Theatre Company. The show is coming to London’s West End in February 2026, and it will be quite a demanding production, as Erivo will play not one, not two, not even four roles as in the second season of Poker Face, but 23 roles in total, including the titular bloodsucking creature of legend.

According to The Guardian, the show will attempt to combine live theater with pre-recorded video to create a show described as “cine-theater”. This will not be Erivo’s first experience with stage performances, as she previously appeared in 2016’s The Color Purple, where she won a Tony award for her efforts.
