For one night only, Cynthia Erivo appears in her first ever solo concert in the beautiful surroundings of Kings Place Concert Hall. The concert is set for Monday 9th March 2015 at 8:30 p.m.
Cynthia's critically acclaimed performance in 'The Color Purple' at London's Menier Chocolate Factory defined her as one of our leading stars of British Musical Theatre. Alongside her stunning five piece band, Cynthia presents a dazzling mixture of her own original songs, soulful classics and breathtaking showstoppers from musical theatre.
"This is my very first solo concert. Here I mix the old with the new, unheard songs and songs you know and love. It is a night, quite simply that is full of love and music," Erivo said.
Don't miss this opportunity to witness the sublime voice of Cynthia Erivo.
