The play was EXCELLENT. Disappointed that Fantasia was not their but my friends and I enjoyed it still. Planning to go again.

THIS SHOW IS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. I LEFT THERE WITH A F FEELING THAT WAS UNDESCRIBABLE. ALL THE CHARACTERS ARE WELL PICKED AND SO VERY TALENTED. A MUST SEE AT LEAST ONCE IN A LIFE TIME.

The show was everything I hoped for and much, much, more. The entire cast was on the money. And what can I say about Fantasia? She brought Celie to life and gave her a place in the hearts of many!!! It's gonna be a tough act to follow, but I hope she does.

Being a fanatical (well almost) Fantasia fan, I knew going in I would probably enjoy this play very much. However, I was not really prepared for how much I enjoyed it. Until I learned Fantasia was starring in it, I really had no interest in seeing the play. I was just one of those people that felt seeing Color Purple once (movie or otherwise) was enough and I had seen the movie. Well, that opinion has drastically changed. I now am planning another trip to New York, specifically to see the play again. This time I would like to take my daughters and several of my friends. It was incredible! It made me laugh and cry. I didn't imagine it would stay so true to the movie version, but it did and the entire cast was unbelievably talented. I have raved so much about this play since I returned home, that several of my friends and acquaintances have bought tickets and finalized their plans to go to NY to see it (they won't even wait for me) (:->)

fantastic fantasia, enjoyed it to the utmost.......

Probably my favorite movie of all time was even better on Broadway! The cast is unbelievable... and I was delighted with the performance of Fantasia as Celie...she captured the essence of the character from the movie played by Whoopi Goldberg... down to the silly grin!! Fantasia should be extremely proud of all her accomplishments since American Idol! Take everyone you know to see this play...and see it yourself twice...OR MORE!
