Cynthia Erivo from Wicked and her partner Lena Waithe have a great date night at the Broadway premiere of “Gypsy.”

Cynthia Erivo and Lena Waithe were spotted enjoying a night at the theater on December 19 for the opening of the new Gypsy production at the Majestic Theatre in New York City. The couple attended to watch Audra McDonald’s performance as Mama Rose in the iconic musical.

Cynthia, renowned for her role in Wicked, and Lena, an accomplished writer and comedian, have been together for years, though their relationship didn’t gain public attention until around 2021, despite knowing each other since at least 2018.

Lena Waithe is best known as the creator of the Showtime series The Chi, as well as the BET comedies Boomerang and Twenties. She is also celebrated for her Emmy-winning work on Master of None, where she made history as the first African-American woman to win the award for Outstanding Writing for a Comedy Series. Lena has also appeared in Ready Player One and Westworld.

On the red carpet, Cynthia had the chance to meet Broadway legend Tovah Feldshuh, who most recently starred in Netflix’s Nobody Wants This.
