First introduced as a Pulitzer-winning novel by Alice Walker, the Broadway rendition of The Color Purple takes this classic tale to all new heights. For five nights only, this gripping tale graces the Fox Theatre with love and loss, faith and friendship. Says the Associated Press, it’s “a Roof-Raising story of triumph.”

Chronicling the turbulent life of Celie, a poor shop girl, The Color Purple discovers love in the unlikeliest of places. From breaking family ties, exhuming immoral behaviors and offering surprising saviors, this musical is an empowering tribute to self-respect and strength. Roiling with emotion, The Color Purple has a way of sneaking into the subconscious and splashing about in your long-buried trials and triumphs. Simply put, a must-see for all generations.
