Wake Forest "Face to Face" Brings Cynthia Erivo to the LJVM Coliseum

Wake Forest University's Face to Face speaker series brings Cynthia Erivo to Lawrence Joel Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Winston-Salem on Sept 16, 2026. The Tony, Emmy, and Grammy Award-winning actress and singer — known to audiences as Elphaba in the film adaptation of Wicked — headlines the series' fall stop at the arena.

The event is listed on Winston-Salem's visitor calendar as a ticketed arena appearance for the university series. Erivo's credits span stage and screen, and the Face to Face series is a recurring marquee draw for the Winston-Salem anchor city.
