It\u2019s all singing, dancing, chatting, and eating as we welcome the phenomenal Cynthia Erivo to the Dish table this week. <\/p>\n
Born in Stockwell, London, and now based in Los Angeles, Cynthia\u2019s r\u00e9sum\u00e9 as an actor, singer, and songwriter is nothing short of extraordinary. She made her Broadway debut as Cecile in The Color Purple, a performance that casually earned her both a Tony and a Grammy. Since then, she\u2019s gone on to shine in Harriet (earning her first Oscar nomination), Widows, Luther: The Fallen Sun, Drift, and more recently, her second Oscar-nominated role as Elphaba in the box office musical smash, Wicked. <\/p>\n
And just when you thought she couldn\u2019t be busier, Cynthia joins Nick and Angela to talk about her new album I Forgive You \u2014 a 20-track project that tells her life story in four distinct parts. It\u2019s out on the 6th June in the U.K. <\/p>\n
To mark the start of June, we served up a vibrant vegan roasted red pepper, aubergine & freekeh salad with extra courgettes (Angela\u2019s favourite, of course). As Cynthia doesn\u2019t drink, our trio sipped on a glass of REAL Peony Blush Non-Alcoholic Sparkling Tea \u2014 but if you\u2019re after a wine pairing, the Waitrose experts recommend a glass of Eminence de Bijou ros\u00e9. <\/p>\n
From Cynthia\u2019s love of baking and her very specific garlic allergy, to her strong opinions on the entire onion family (sorry if you\u2019re listening, onion fam), this episode covers it all. And if that wasn\u2019t enough, she shares how Ariana Grande helped bring her new record to life \u2014 plus gives us a front-row seat to her jaw-dropping vocal power! <\/p>\n
