Winner! Tony® Award for Best Revival; Grammy® Award for Best Cast Album! From the classic Pulitzer Prize-winning novel by Alice Walker, and the moving film by Steven Spielberg, comes a soul-stirring new musical and landmark event. The Color Purple is an inspiring family saga that tells the unforgettable story of a woman who – through love – finds the strength to triumph over adversity and discover her unique voice in the world. Set to a joyous score featuring jazz, ragtime, gospel, and blues, The Color Purple is a story of hope, a testament to the healing power of love and a celebration of life.
Directed by hometown hero (and history-maker for being the youngest black director to have a show play on Broadway) Zhailon Levingston, The Color Purple is adapted for the stage by Pulitzer Prize and Tony® Award winner Marsha Norman, with music and lyrics by Grammy® Award winners Brenda Russell, Allee Willis and Stephen Bray, with musical direction by Ta Edwards-Robinson.
Featuring an array of national and local talent, the production is headlined by Emily Mwakitawa as Celie. Joining her onstage are Shayla D. Canady (Shug Avery), Briana Richmond (Sofia), Chaynler Joie (Nettie), Cordara Newson (Mister), Mikah Thomas (Harpo), Joie A. Smith (Squeak), and Tianna Andrews, Nolan Budgewater, Patrick Dennis, Darion Elie, Derrick Frierson, Courtnei Gabriel, Jordan Hollins, Mary King, Angela Lacey, Bryanna Lacey, Austin Miles, Teri Moore, Christian Perkins, Kezia L. Pigford, Selena Simmons, Lacee Smith, Braden Tucker, Jay Ward, Tierra Williams.
