Cynthia Erivo manages difficult situation at Dracula show

Cynthia Erivo has earned appreciation for controlling the atmosphere at her one-woman show Dracula like a pro.

The 39-year-old actress is known for calming down her Wicked co-star Ariana Grande, supporting her during public appearances.

This time, however, the Harriet star intervened in the matter of two attendees at her drama and de-escalated the situation.

According to a report, a fight started after a man was pushed in the audience. Cynthia apologised to the person who was extremely furious and asked him to calm down.

She kept repeating “I’m so sorry” until the man peacefully explained the situation to the Hollywood A-list star.

The move was applauded by netizens after videos from the instance went viral over the internet. One of the X users was of the opinion that the actress “handled that so well.”

Another admirer called her: “Motivation speaker” and expressed love for Cynthia.

Was Cynthia Erivo's show Dracula worth watching?

Meanwhile, many people in attendance complained about the show as there were visible teleprompters and technical glitches that caused problems.

According to reports, Cynthia restarted show mid-performance which sparked a wave of criticism, calling her out for not being professional.

This came after the Wicked: For Good lead was trolled for being too close to her co-star Ariana and their bond was criticised by fans.
