Posted: 1/24/08 at 11:22amThe other thread on this vanished because the person who started that one didn't have a source, either.

I was glad that we had a chance to see THE COLOR PURPLE with Fantasia... so sad though 
It's funny... I was talking to the House Manager of Alliance Theater in Atlanta last weekend and we talked about TCP... I asked her if the Alliance staging was exactly as the one on Broadway Theater (bec. she seen it too) and she told me ..it was a liitle different and they have different cast that did not ALL go to Broadway neither..
During our conversation-I told her..that I think (though not 100% sure) that there was a rumor that it may close bec. Shrek might move there....I guess sooner than I expected... Edit : I hope I did not jinx it by saying that!

I wanted to see Chaka in the show. I guess advanced ticket sales aren't good?
Oprah said it made Broadway history. Did I miss something?

It was the first show she produced. So that makes it historical.

Posted: 1/24/08 at 11:49amI guess this is the motivation I needed to go see it.

Posted: 1/24/08 at 11:50amOh I guess it does make it historical if SHE was a producer! And it was HER show as I have heard her say on a few occasions. Guess the mighty Oprah's name didn't have that much of an effect. I really don't think people went to see it because her name was attached to it. I could be wrong, but I know I didn't see it because of her. I saw it because it was "The Color Purple". Wish it could stay around longer but it did well and recouped. Hoefully the tour will swing through Denver.

Posted: 1/24/08 at 11:53amNot surprised to hear this especially since their numbers were low pre Fantasia joining the cast.
