I saw Chicago's Color Purple yesterday, what a thrill! I was so moved by the show, I was in tears by the end.
It is an outstanding cast. LaToya London (Nettie) was a pleasant surprise.
I felt like they tried to squeeze too much of the story into Act 2, but they did stay true to the book.
I'm going to try to remember Celie's words, "I'm thankful for everyday that I'm given, both the easy and hard ones I'm livin'.
Great show.

I hope to read more Chicago reviews.
Anyone seen Barbara Robertson as Morrible in WICKED?

Just talked to Barbara.
She's looking for a house seat for me.
Would you like to have a drink with her after the show?
