Face to Face will conclude Season Five at LJVM Coliseum on April 15, 2026, with Cynthia Erivo, a three-time Academy Award nominee and star of the movie “Wicked.” She captivates audiences while serving as a fearless voice for women and people of color and setting new standards for the arts. Erivo has an uncanny ability to shape and drive narratives across entertainment while continuously evolving her body of work with poignant breakthrough characters that hit emotional cores and transcend race, gender and cultural boundaries. In “Wicked,” she stars as Elphaba opposite Ariana Grande’s Glinda. The film “Wicked: Part Two” will debut in November 2025. Individual tickets for Face to Face Season Five events will be available starting August 1, but the best way to experience it all is with a season subscription, which can be purchased at facetoface.wfu.edu.
