Our review of The Color Purple

The Color Purple - A Beautiful Story of Triumph

Nicola QuinnNicola Quinn, October 1st, 2016
5/5

Empowering, beautiful, moving!

The music and lyrics are beautiful and we felt the shifts and changes of Celie's journey!

Our Broadway Reviewer saw this production when it played on The Great White Way in 2015/16 - here's what she thought:

"The book leaves the audience feeling empowered and hopeful for change. The music and lyrics are beautiful and we felt the shifts and changes of Celie's journey ... The chorus enters and raises the roof singing "Mysterious Ways", and at this point the tone is set for a night of jazz, gospel, ragtime and blues - music that moves the soul! The book, written by Marsha Norman, leaves the audience feeling empowered and hopeful for change."
