I saw this performance in Sacramento at Music Circus this afternoon. It was INCREDIBLE! Angela Wildflower as Celie was absolutely riveting: real, vulnerable, engaging. Our whole audience was sucked in from the first lines until the encore. The story was told with gentleness, but still had dark undertones. Sofia (played by Amma Osei) was a delightful break from the seriousness and has the most beautiful, deep, belting alto. When Celie realizes at the end that she is worth something and sings that she is beautiful just the way she is, she brought down the house! There wasn't a dry eye in the room! It reminded me about the power of musical theater to tell a story and make people feel transported. BRAVO TO THE CAST, every last one!

OTHER THAN THAT I COULDN’T UNDERSTAND WHAT WAS SAID OR SUNG
The sound was atrocious. I couldn’t understand much of the dialogue
or lyrics. The audience in front of us would respond up to a certain
row and after that, crickets. I was already a fan of the book and movie
so I was familiar with the story line although I did go to Wikipedia
during intermission. I loved the minimalist set and how the chairs
were integrated into the staging, which I absolutely loved. I wish I’d
seen this revival on Broadway. I would say Don’t Waste Your Money
but I got enough out of it to be glad I went. And I want to see the
performers and production personnel supported. And the notion that,
as spoken by the usher as related in another post, audience members
should secure assisted listening devices? C'mon! That’s bogus!

Great Show! Wonderful acting, singing and music. Unfortunately, we had difficulty understanding the dialogue and lyrics and at times the music drowned out the singing. In spite of that, it was very enjoyable.

THE COLOR PURPLE
Singing was great but that was expected. No props
just wooden chairs on a wall...really. Actors going in
and out of accents couldn't tell who was who. I want
my $400 back!

COLOR PURPLE LEFT ME BLACK N BLUE
Singers were awesome, It was like watching some bits and pieces of the movie in fast
forward. There was no props per say, chairs and sheets? Not recommended. 3/01/2018

LOST FOR WORDS
We love theater, knew the story line & have seen amazing productions (e.g. Aladdin & the Lion King) that create a wow experience, so the first thing we noticed was the set. The set was nice but remained the same throughout the production -- no scene changes not even after intermission so lost for words -- which is unfortunate because digital projection for scene changes would have allowed this production to live up to its name. That being said, the cast was talented and enjoyable, but felt the cast had to work extra hard to carry the to make up for the limited set. While I was also lost for words when I first heard the profanity or noticed the suggestive bumping and grinding on stage, the production conveyed the meaning (spiritually) of the color "purple" and not so subtle messages from the book including themes of sexism, sexuality, liberation and freedom. An optimized set could create a wow experience, right now - lost for words!

COLOR PURPLE WAS FADED AND WASHED OUT
I love the movie I have seen the play in New York and
Chicago 4 times. Last night was my 5th and last I had
highly recommended this play to my friend. I was so
disappointed I will never recommend this play or go
to see it again. This was a low budget disappointing
version of the original plays. No props no costume
changes till the end. Singing was great but you
couldn't understand the words. The prices of the
tickets should have been reduced. Not
recommended
The music and lyrics are beautiful and we felt the shifts and changes of Celie's journey!
The book leaves the audience feeling empowered and hopeful for change. The music and lyrics are beautiful and we felt the shifts and changes of Celie's journey!
