The Color Purple

Tony Award frontrunner nominee Cynthia Erivo made her TV debut performance of this season’s biggest showstopper “I’m Here” on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and it was EVERYTHING. Here are just 20 thoughts we had while watching Erivo do her thing.

It starts with clearing the next four and half minutes of your life and making sure you're in a place where you can shout and maybe cry.

Look at Cynthia...that hair, that sleek black outfit. Slay star!

Cynthia Erivo- I'm Here

Yes to that full orchestra behind her.

Orchestra- Erivo

:30, ok we’re making some cuts but I'm fine at least she’s here.

Whoever shot this understands that they are making TV history. Bravo, sir or ma'am.

That whole "got my eyes, got my chair." I'm dying.

If this doesn’t nearly sell out the run, Trump isn’t our worst problem as a country.

And this is where I died. (2:32)

Then there’s such a joy that happens for “I believe I have inside of me” (2:43)

Joy- Cynthia Erivi

That "bountiful"—where’d that come from?

Miss the stomp she does for "tallest tree" during the show (#SuperFan) but I’m living for these growls.

Someone watching this needs to offer her an album like yesterday.

That fist pump is mood.

It was during this “I’m beautiful” that I knew I’d be pressing repeat for the better part of an hour.

This is the Broadway equivalent of watching Khaleesi walk through fire time and again on Game of Thrones, 'cause every time you're like, 'Damn, I will follow you anywhere.'

Game of thrones- fire gif

Yes, standing ovation after. Damn right.
