Have you seen the Steven Spielberg film, The Color Purple? If not, you’re missing out on a classic. If you have seen it, how would you like to see the stage/Broadway adaptation of it? The Broadway production of The Color Purple is truly a sight to see, and it’s playing at the Orpheum in Memphis August 24-29.

The Broadway version of The Color Purple is based on the classic Pulitzer Prize-winning novel by Alice Walker and the incredible film by Steven Spielberg, which has been a staple in many households for years. The story centers around the unforgettable story of Celie, who finds the strength to triumph over adversity, and discover her unique voice in the world.

The performance dates are:

• Tuesday, August 24th 7:30 PM
• Wednesday, August 25th 7:30 PM
• Thursday, August 26th 7:30 PM
• Friday, August 27th 8:00 PM
• Saturday August 28th 2:00 PM (mat)/ 8:00 PM (eve)
• Sunday, August 29th 1:30 PM (mat)/ 7:00 PM (eve)

Tickets are $25-$80 (plus any fees) and are available now at the Orpheum Theatre Box Office, Davis-Kidd Booksellers and Ticketmaster.

The Color Purple has always been one of my favorite films, and it’ll be interesting to see Broadway’s take on this classic film and novel. The greatest thing about the showing at the Orpheum is that it’s only a few minutes away from the Madison Humphrey Center Apartments.

See you there!
