Girl is amazing
Just reading that makes me tired. Get it, Cynthia. You're a beast!

She is not human. But so beautifully, achingly human in The Color Purple. I hope she gets the Tony.
She's a force of nature. Have you seen those arms?! No doubt her legs are just as strong. She looks extremely physically fit. It's no surprise that she has the stamina to do this but no less impressive.

She looked positively jacked as a presenter at the Easter Bonnet last month. Amazing.
She's so fricking amazing. It's ridiculous. Just give her a Tony already.
I love this! I was a temp for the (full) marathon last year and that just gave me an even deeper respect for marathon runners. Go Cynthia!

"Benanti deleted her clapping video and I think Erivo should follow suit with those marathon posts. They are offensive because I am lazy."
To run a marathon and then sing and act that role twice is beyond anyone on this earth to do. Her stamina is ****ing unreal and her talent and devotion to her work exceeds expectations. You make them right London, keep doing that.
Also, Dear Cynthia's Mom- Thank you for contributing to the most beautiful, talented, sweetest creature to ever step foot on a Broadway stage.

While on the Wicked 2NT Jenny DiNoia ran a full marathon before doing a 2 show day. They are beasts.
I was on instagram when she posted that pic and my first thought was, without any doubt, that she wouldn't be taking any breaks and would performing two shows that day, because that's just the kind of powerful and brilliant person she is. Superwoman.
