Cynthia Erivo, who is starring in the hit musical “Wicked,” was named Tuesday as the 2025 Woman of the Year by Harvard University’s Hasty Pudding Theatricals.

Wicked” actress Cynthia Erivo clearly has a thing for playing characters who fly. In an interview at the National Board of Review Awards Gala, Erivo was asked what “dream role” she’s manifesting for her future.

Emmy, Grammy, and Tony Award-winning actress Cynthia Erivo will be the Hasty Pudding Theatricals’ 2025 Woman of the Year, the student group announced Tuesday.

Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo, two main leads of the hit musical fiction, may be bringing Wicked to life on the big screen but surprisingly, they both never auditioned together for the movie.

Harvard University’s Hasty Pudding Theatricals is defying gravity with its pick for the 2025 Woman of the Year.

Cynthia Erivo may still be experiencing a warm round of applause for her performance as Elphaba in 2024’s Wicked, but that doesn’t mean she doesn’t already have her sights set on other, future roles.
