I couldn't believe the power of the voices in that production. I'm glad I got to see for myself exactly how different this version is from the original.

The Color Purple was a smash for our Senior High Youth Group. The high intensity singing and stage performances kept us riveted in our seats. This show will open up numerous conversations for any school or religious youth group.

My class was reading The Color Purple and I wanted to show them how literature can come alive. My students were blown away by the performance. They could not stop talking about how they connected with certain characters and the beauty and power of music connecting to human experience.
