I went back to The color Purple Tuesday Night. I have heard that ticket sales were slow and I loved the show the first time and I just wanted to do my part. I was blown away by the changes that have been made. I am a long time fan of LaChanze and I missed her in the show, but Natasha Williams, the woman who played Sophia blew me away. Her rendition of the character was nothing short of phenominal. Why haven't I heard about her. Has anyone seen the show lately? She is amazing!!!!!
I was in NYC a couple weeks ago, and I was so shocked that there are no pictures in front of the theatre showing the new cast members, just the shows logo.
Hey Dottie!
Did your colleagues enjoy the cake even though your cat decided to sit on it? ~GuyfromGermany
Jeannette started as Celie a couple of months ago, I would have thought by now her picture would be up. Whenever I'm in NYC I always enjoy walking by the theatre's to see who's who in each show.

Welcome to the board, NaTasha. Loved you on tour in "All Shook Up" and wish you all the best on "The Color Purple"!
Tonya Pinkins: Then we had a "Lot's Wife" last June that was my personal favorite. I'm still trying to get them to let me sing it at some performance where we get to sing an excerpt that's gone.
Tony Kushner: You can sing it at my funeral.
I can't believe you wrote back that is so nice of you. I am coming to your talkback on Tuesday night so I hope to meet you after the show. I started this thread so that people would know how wonderful you are. I can't wait for them to see you.
I haven't seen The Color Purple, I'll get around to it eventually, but I saw Natasha Williams in All Shook Up twice, as well as Cinderella and can vouch for her immense talent.
Dean: Can I tell you something?
Lorraine: That depends on what it is.
Dean: I think you're really really pretty.
Lorraine: (after a pause) Ok, you can tell me that.
Thanks something wicked for the welcome I have been reading for a while but never chimed in until now. Also Misto I appreciate the comments. I hope you get to see Purple soon. Lots of changes are coming up soon. Peace
Hey Natasha! I saw you in ASU a bunch (I saw the show in Boston a few times, and then came down to Ft Lauderdale in Nov to see it again a few times). Can't wait to see you in Purple, you are the only reason I am coming to see it again!
This thread thing is so funny. Is it supposed to be annonymous? Admanrich, you are right I would so not be the person to impersonate. I just got here and for that I am grateful. Liotte can't wait to see you again. I am online backstage, not cause I'm bored, just keeping busy. Tonight is Jeannette's last night and I have had a ball working with her. I have had an amazing time just being here......Gotta go!!!
