Tony Award winner Cynthia Erivo made a guest appearance on the ABC reboot of the reality singing competition American Idol.
The Color Purple star joined contestant Jeremiah Lloyd Harmon for a duet of the Cyndi Lauper pop ballad “Time After Time” on the April 8 episode. The duo wowed judged Lionel Richie, Katy Perry, and Luke Bryan as part of the Top 20 All-Star Duets.
As a teacher, Mr. Waddell coached Brandon Victor Dixon, Jessica Vosk, Robert Fowler, Felicia P. Fields, Brian Stokes Mitchell, Angela Robinson, Soara-Joye Ross, and more.
Partially inspired by Sophocles' Antigone, the show is an intimate exploration of love that goes beyond faith between a queer Pakistani-American man and his deeply devout mother.
The work centers on a truck driver named Larry Walters, who uses a lawn chair and 42 helium-filled weather balloons to fly nearly 16,000 feet above Los Angeles.
