“Exquisite! A joyous celebration of storytelling.” The New York Times
With a fresh, Grammy-winning score of jazz, gospel, ragtime and blues, THE COLOR PURPLE is an unforgettable, intensely moving musical based on Alice Walker’s Pulitzer Prize-winning novel and the Oscar®-nominated film. The New York Times calls it “exquisite! A joyous celebration of storytelling.” This stirring family chronicle—a young woman’s epic journey through joy, despair, anguish and hope to discover the power of love—leaves its mark on the soul.
