We delve into how the music becomes a character in itself, amplifying the triumphs and tribulations of Celie and the ensemble cast. From the hauntingly beautiful to the joyously uplifting, THE COLOR PURPLE weaves a sonic tapestry that mirrors the emotional richness of Alice Walker's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel. ABOUT THE COLOR PURPLE Torn apart from her sister Nettie (Halle Bailey) and her children, Celie (Fantasia Barrino in her major motion picture debut, reprising her 2005 role from Broadway) faces many hardships in her life, including an abusive husband simply called Mister (Colman Domingo). With the support of sultry singer Shug Avery (Taraji P. Henson) and stand-her-ground stepdaughter Sofia (Danielle Brooks, Tony-nominated for the role on Broadway), Celie ultimately finds extraordinary strength in the unbreakable bonds of a new kind of sisterhood.
