Cynthia Erivo and Lena Waithe were among the star-studded attendees at the opening night of the new Broadway production of Gypsy on December 19 at the Majestic Theatre in New York City. The couple enjoyed Audra McDonald’s powerful performance as Mama Rose in the classic musical.
Cynthia, known for her role in Wicked, and Lena, a renowned writer and comedian, have been together for several years. While the two have known each other since at least 2018, their relationship was publicly speculated starting around 2021.
Lena Waithe is a highly successful creator and producer, best known for her work on Showtime’s The Chi, as well as her Emmy-winning writing for Master of None. She is also recognized for her roles in projects like Ready Player One and Westworld, and has made a significant impact in Hollywood as the first African-American woman to win the Emmy Award for Outstanding Writing for a Comedy Series.
On the red carpet at Gypsy, Cynthia also had the opportunity to meet Broadway legend Tovah Feldshuh, who is currently starring in Netflix’s Nobody Wants This.
