Disney Night gets a star boost as Cynthia Erivo will serve as DWTS guest judge next week
Erivo Joins the Judges
The Emmy, Grammy and Tony winner will take a seat at the judges’ table rather than compete as a dancer. She will be the fourth judge alongside Carrie Ann Inaba, Derek Hough and Bruno Tonioli.
An Earlier Broadcast
The episode will air a day ahead of the series’ usual schedule. The change is tied to Election Day, which falls on Tuesday. Disney Night will feature eight celebrity competitors. The finale is scheduled for November 24, and the report says four teams will likely remain for that episode.
Erivo’s Disney Connection
Erivo appeared as the Blue Fairy in the 2022 live-action adaptation of Pinocchio. The film was released on Disney+ rather than in theaters. She also recently hosted an episode of SNL UK. During it, she spoofed Wicked by playing Glinda, the role portrayed by Ariana Grande in the film version.
