Give thanks this morning, children of Broadway, and throw in a hearty hallelujah. "The Color Purple" has been born again, and its conversion is a glory to behold.
New York Times
Based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning story by American novelist and poet Alice Walker, The Color Purple revival features an adapted book by Tony winner Marsha Norman and a jazz, ragtime, and gospel-infused score by Grammy Award-winning writing team Brenda Russell, Allee Willis, and Stephen Bray. This critically acclaimed, landmark musical makes its much anticipated Muny premiere this summer.
What is the story?
Opening in late 2015 and running for two years thereafter, the Broadway production of The Color Purple won two Tony Awards, including the award for Best Revival of a Musical. A tale of hope and resilience in the face of adversity, it chronicles 40 years in the life of Celie, an African American woman who survives abuse and prejudice in the American south.
Opening night: 13 September 2019
You may be required to wear a mask during this performance. Please contact the venue directly for more information.
