From the classic Pulitzer Prize-winning novel by Alice Walker, and the moving film by Steven Spielberg, comes this multi-Tony Award-winning, 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. Set to a joyous score featuring jazz, ragtime, gospel, and blues, The Color Purple is a story of hope, a testament to the healing power of love, and a celebration of life.
