Erivo made her West End debut in the stage musical The Umbrellas of Cherbourg (2011), and her Broadway debut as Celie in the musical revival of The Color Purple (2015–2017). Erivo's work for The Color Purple won her the Tony Award for Best Actress in a Musical and Grammy Award for Best Musical Theater Album, as well as a Daytime Emmy Award.

She expanded to films in 2018 with the crime thrillers Widows and Bad Times at the El Royale . Erivo earned nominations for the Academy Award for Best Actress for portraying Harriet Tubman in Harriet (2019) and Elphaba in Wicked (2024), as well as a nomination for Best Original Song for the song "Stand Up" from the former. For reprising her role as Elphaba in Wicked: For Good (2025), she became the first black actress to be nominated twice for Best Actress in a Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy at the Golden Globe Awards. [3]

On television, Erivo portrayed Holly Gibney in the HBO crime drama miniseries The Outsider (2020) and Aretha Franklin in National Geographic's anthology series Genius: Aretha (2021); the latter earned her a nomination for the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie. As a singer, she has released singles as well as two solo albums in 2021 and 2025.

Early life

Erivo was born on 8 January 1987 [4] [5] [6] [7] to Igbo [8] Nigerian immigrant parents in Stockwell, London, England. [9] Her mother, Edith, was 15 years old when the Nigerian Civil War broke out, with Erivo saying that "she's not necessarily a refugee, but [...] her home was ravaged, and they were on the run to find safety." [10] Both of Erivo's parents arrived in the UK in their early twenties and they separated when she was very young. [11] Following this, she and her younger sister Stephanie were raised by Edith, who worked as a nurse. [11] [12] They were disowned by their father when Erivo was 16 years old, and she remains estranged from him. [13] She named her production company Edith's Daughter in tribute to her mother. [14]

Erivo attended La Retraite Roman Catholic Girls' School in Clapham Park. [13] As a child, she had roles in Brecht's Caucasian Chalk Circle , and later appeared on television in Trust Me, I'm a Teenager. [4] Her confirmation name is Perpetua. [15] She began a music psychology degree at the University of East London in 2004. [4] However, a year into her degree, she applied to the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (RADA) and transferred there upon acceptance. [16] [17] She graduated from RADA with a bachelor's degree in acting in 2010. [4]

She made her Broadway debut in the 2015 revival transfer of the Menier Chocolate Factory production of The Color Purple, [28] reprising her role as Celie Harris alongside American actresses Jennifer Hudson as Shug Avery and Danielle Brooks as Sofia. [29] The production began performances at Bernard B. Jacobs Theatre, from 10 December 2015. [30] Her performance earned widespread acclaim, with The New York Times writing, "Ms. Erivo's sobering and stirring portrayal of Celie, in a rapturously reviewed revival of The Color Purple... has brought the kind of praise that can change a performer's career". [31] She won several awards for her performance, including the 2016 Tony Award for Best Actress in a Musical. [32]

Erivo starred as Cathy alongside Joshua Henry in a one-night benefit concert performance of Jason Robert Brown's The Last Five Years on 12 September 2016.

[36]

Erivo made her film debut in 2018 with the neo-noir thriller film Bad Times at the El Royale . [37] Justin Chang of the Los Angeles Times deemed Erivo's performance "revelatory in the most rewarding sense". [38] That same year, she also starred in the Steve McQueen directed heist thriller film Widows , which marked the first film she had ever shot.

[41]

Erivo played the title role in Harriet , a biographical film about American abolitionist Harriet Tubman. [42] [43] The film began production in October 2018, [44] completed filming in January 2019, and was released on 1 November 2019. [45] David Rooney of The Hollywood Reporter wrote that Erivo "is a powerful physical presence in the title role" adding that "[she] hits all the requisite notes of flintiness and selfless bravery born of suffering, determination and rage". [46] Her performance earned her a nomination for the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in a Motion Picture – Drama; [47] she also received a second nomination for Best Original Song for a song she co-wrote and performed for the film entitled "Stand Up". [48] In 2020, Erivo garnered nominations for two Academy Awards–one for Best Actress for her portrayal of Tubman and the other for Best Original Song for "Stand Up". [49] She became the third consecutive and overall person to earn acting and songwriting nominations for the same film, after Mary J. Blige for Mudbound (2017) and Lady Gaga for A Star Is Born (2018), and was the second consecutive and overall person (as well as the first person of color) to do so in a leading role.

2020–present: career expansion

In 2020, Erivo starred as investigator Holly Gibney in the HBO miniseries The Outsider , a television adaptation of Stephen King's novel of the same name. [50] [51] That same year, she launched her production company, Edith's Daughter, and signed a first-look deal with MRC to develop television projects. [52] [53] She appeared in the science fiction film Chaos Walking , based on Patrick Ness' novel The Knife of Never Letting Go , which was released on 5 March 2021. [54] Erivo portrayed singer Aretha Franklin in the third season of the anthology series Genius , which premiered in March 2021. [55] While the season was met with criticism from Franklin's family, Erivo was praised for her performance, earning Best Actress nominations at the Primetime Emmy Awards, Golden Globe Awards, Critics' Choice Awards, and Screen Actors Guild Awards. She released two songs , "The Good" and "Glowing Up", to promote her debut studio album, Ch. 1 Vs. 1, which was released on 7 September 2021. [56] [57] That same month, she joined the jury of the 78th Venice International Film Festival. [58]

In July 2022, Erivo performed as part of the BBC Proms, singing tributes to women who have inspired her. [59] [60] Writing in The Times , John Bungey highlighted her performances of the songs "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face" and "Ain't No Way". [61] That same year, she performed a medley of Stephen Sondheim songs during the In Memoriam segment at the 64th Annual Grammy Awards, alongside Rachel Zegler, Leslie Odom Jr. and Ben Platt. Althea Legaspi of Rolling Stone described it as both "moving" and "fitting" tribute. [62]

Erivo played the Blue Fairy in Disney's 2022 live-action adaptation of Pinocchio , directed by Robert Zemeckis. [63] Despite the film's negative reception, [64] [65] Christy Lemire of RogerEbert.com praised her performance, writing: "Erivo is such a majestic sight to behold, you’ll wish there were more of her here". [66] Later that year, she performed the song "Edelweiss" from the musical The Sound of Music in tribute to Julie Andrews, who received the AFI Life Achievement Award. [67]

In 2023, she appeared in the Netflix crime thriller Luther: The Fallen Sun , a film continuation of the crime drama series Luther starring Idris Elba. [68] In the same year, Erivo portrayed Jacqueline, a Liberian refugee, in the film Drift , which she also produced. Erivo took inspiration from her mother's experience as a refugee during the Nigerian Civil War for the role. [10] [14] The following year, she played Petra, a bold and flirtatious maid, in the Lincoln Center concert production of Stephen Sondheim's A Little Night Music at David Geffen Hall.

Erivo portrayed Elphaba in the musical fantasy film Wicked (2024), the first of a two-part film adaptation of the stage musical. [73] [74] The film's soundtrack album was co-billed to Erivo, who performed seven songs from the musical. [75] It debuted at number two on the US Billboard 200 chart and gave Erivo her first UK top-ten hit with her rendition of "Defying Gravity". [76] [77] Erivo earned acclaim for the role, with Wendy Ide of The Guardian writing: "Erivo is terrific, her rich, velvety voice cracking under the weight of rejections and ridicule suffered by Elphaba." [78] For her performance, Erivo received Best Actress nominations at the Golden Globes, Critics' Choice Awards, British Academy Film Awards, Screen Actors Guild Awards (where she also received a nomination for Outstanding Performance by a Cast), and Academy Awards. [79] [80] [81] [82] Her Academy Award nomination made her the second black actress after Viola Davis to receive more than one Best Actress nominations. [83]

In May 2025, it was announced that Erivo would return to the West End in a one-woman adaptation of Dracula , performing all 23 roles. It will play at the Noël Coward Theatre for a limited 16-week engagement from 4 February to 31 May 2026.

It will also feature an original song composed by Clemence Williams. [84]

Deadline Hollywood declared her hosting abilities to be "absolutely flawless", [85] while Entertainment Weekly cited her as one of the show's highlights, saying: "From the opening seconds, Erivo defied expectations" adding, "Throughout the ceremony, she played to her strengths and it made for a superb outing as a host". [86] The ceremony drew 4.85 million viewers, becoming the most-viewed Tonys ceremony since 2019. [87] [88]
