From Alice Walker's classic Pulitzer Prize-winning novel
and the landmark film by Steven Spielberg, comes a soul-stirring
new musical. 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. With a moving book and a
score featuring gospel, jazz, ragtime and the blues, The
Color Purple is ultimately a story of hope, a testament
to the healing power of love and a celebration of life.
