THE COLOR PURPLE focuses on the life of African-American women in the Southern United States in the 1930s and boasts some of the most beautiful songs musical theatre has to offer! The 2015 revival starred English StageFave Cynthia Erivo and our song of the week is the title track from the show, sung by Cynthia and the company...
And why not check out this utterly phenomenal performance of the cast from the 2016 Tony Awards. Some of those notes just don't seem like they should be possible...
Needless to say, Cynthia was nominated for a Tony Award and obviously...she won!
