On Stage Friday: "The Color Purple"

Pretty amazing, having two outstanding Broadway touring shows just a few days apart - but that's what the Marshall Artists Series did this week.

Hot on the heels of Spring Awakening, that group's season wraps up Friday night with the hit musical The Color Purple.

Here's more info about that show:

The Color Purple is a soul-stirring musical based on the classic Pulitzer Prize-winning novel by Alice Walker and the moving film by Steven Spielberg.

It is the unforgettable and inspiring story of a woman named Celie, who finds her unique voice in the world. Nominated for eleven Tony® Awards, The Color Purple is a landmark theatrical event, a celebration of love, and a Broadway phenomenon.

With a joyous GRAMMY®-nominated score featuring jazz, gospel and blues, The Color Purple is capturing the hearts of young and old, and uniting audiences in a community of joy.

The show runs at 8:00 p.m. at the Keith Albee Performing Arts Center. Tickets range from $45 to $58.

Highly recommended!
