Something “Wicked” comes this way, Tampa Bay.
Today, The Florida Orchestra (TFO) announced two summer concerts that’ll find Oscar-nominated artist Cynthia Erivo joining the ensemble in St. Petersburg and Clearwater.
The 38-year-old already has Grammy, Tony and Daytime Emmy awards. “Wicked,” which finds Erivo playing Elphaba, is up for 10 Oscars including hers for Best Actress.
TFO Music Director Michael Francis conducts for the ensemble and Erivo, who made her Broadway debut as Celie in “The Color Purple.”
