Cynthia Erivo Leads Animated Musical Bad Fairies with Songs by Six the Musical Creators

Friday, 10 October 2025


Academy Award nominee and Tony winner Cynthia Erivo is lending her voice to Bad Fairies, a brand-new animated musical film set for release on 21 May 2027.

Directed by Megan Nicole Dong (Centaurworld) and co-directed by Olivier Staphylas (Puss in Boots), the film features original songs by Toby Marlow and Lucy Moss, the award-winning creators of Six The Musical.

The story follows a rebellious fairy, Jayne Staplegun (voiced by Erivo), who sparks chaos in her magical world. The film blends sharp humour, fantasy, and contemporary pop-inspired music.

The creative team includes Isabella “Machine” Summers of Florence + The Machine (score), Deborah Frances-White (screenplay), and producers Carolyn Soper and DNEG Animation.

Erivo, who stars as Elphaba in Wicked: For Good later this year and the upcoming 2026 production of Dracula, continues her rise as one of today’s most dynamic performers.
