Cynthia Erivo performs title song from X Factor Musical I Can't Sing

Listen to Cynthia Erivo perform the title song from the upcoming X Factor musical called 'I Can't Sing' below. It was recently announced that The Color Purple star will play  X Factor contestant Chenice in I Can't Sing alongside Nigel Harman as Simon Cowell.

Cynthia Erivo has just finished playing Celie in the sold out, UK premiere of The Color Purple at the Menier Chocolate Factory. Earlier this year Cynthia starred in the world premiere of LIFT at the Soho Theatre and she also recently played Deloris Van Cartier on the UK Tour of Sister Act. Her other theatre credits include: The Umbrellas of Cherbourg (Gielgud), The Three Musketeers and the Princess of Spain (Traverse Theatre/English Touring Company) and 24 Hour Musicals (Old Vic).

I Can't Sing will open at the London Palladium on Wednesday 28th March (previews from Thursday 27th February) and will feature 19 original songs. The show goes behind the microphone and under the judges’ desk to reveal the (not necessarily accurate) story of heartache and laughter that keeps millions tuning in every week.

In turn irreverent, anarchic and strangely touching I Can't Sing is an affectionate poke at the world’s most talked about talent show that will please friends and foes of The X Factor in equal measure. The musical features music and lyrics from Steve Brown, book and lyrics by Harry Hill and is directed by double Olivier Award winner Sean Foley.
