A New Chapter: “Dracula”
Erivo returns to the West End in “Dracula,” where she plays 23 characters and recites approximately 20,000 words of dialogue over two hours. Despite the intense schedule, she remains committed, even going so far as to cancel some performances due to exhaustion.
Months after the release of “Wicked: For Good,” Erivo has had time to reflect on the experience. “I haven’t had that much distance,” she admits wryly. “And I guess I’ve not necessarily looked back that much at it, because distance does make the heart grow fonder, you know?”
For now, her focus is on new roles and projects, including a monster for Guillermo del Toro’s upcoming film and playing Storm from the X-Men.
