Cynthia Erivo Headlines Opening Night Gala At Palm Spring's Plaza Theatre

PALM SPRINGS, CA — The Plaza Theatre in Palm Springs is reopening its doors in December with an Opening Night Gala after its restoration process that began in March 2024.

The gala is scheduled for Monday, Dec. 1 at 7:30 p.m. and will be headlined by Cynthia Erivo.
Erivo is a Tony-, Grammy- and Emmy-award winner as well as a three- time Academy Award-nominated actress, singer and producer. She recently starred as Elphaba in the two "Wicked" movies alongside Ariana Grande.

"Opening Night at the Plaza is the moment we've been waiting for," said Senior Vice President of Oak View Group and general manager of the Plaza Theatre John Bolton.

"We're honored to welcome Cynthia Erivo for this milestone performance; it's the perfect way to begin a vibrant new chapter in the Plaza's story," Bolton added.

Erivo's one-night performance will feature Mark Meadows and the Palm Springs Pops Orchestra.

The Plaza Theatre will be managed by Oak View Group, who along with the Palm Springs Plaza Theatre Foundation and the city of Palm Springs, executed the renovation.

Some of the changes made included a state-of-the-art cooling system, modernized dressing rooms for world-class talent and extra comfortable seating to host the full spectrum of performing arts, according to theatre officials.
