THE COLOR PURPLE is a soul-stirring musical based on the classic Pulitzer Prize-winning novel by Alice Walker and the moving film by Steven Spielberg. It is the unforgettable and inspiring story of a woman named Celie, who finds her unique voice in the world. Nominated for eleven Tony Awards, THE COLOR PURPLE is a landmark theatrical event, a celebration of love, and a Broadway phenomenon. With a joyous Grammy-nominated score featuring jazz, gospel, and blues, THE COLOR PURPLE captures the hearts of young and old—and unites audiences in a community of joy. “Blessed with talent,” writes Ben Brantley of The New York Times. “A bright odyssey of survival and triumph with a fairytale sense of wonder.”
