The play premeried (sp??) in Atlanta and I saw it. It was very good and a lot closer to the book than the movie, IMO.

I attended this show during the first week it was in San Francisco. It was absolutely terrific!

It runs through Dec. 9 in San Francisco.

Here's a bit about the touring cast:

Jeannette Bayardelle who joined the tour from the Broadway production, as the lead character Celie, along with fellow Broadway cast-mate Felicia P. Fields. Fields originated the role of Sofia, for which she received a Tony Award nomination. Michelle Williams, former member of best-selling female R&B group Destiny's Child, appears in the role of Shug Avery. Celie's sister Nettie is played by local SF Bay Area performer LaToya London of "American Idol" fame.

The Color Purple on Broadway

My Husband and I saw this in June and we were blown away by fantasia.
She did a Hell of a Job with playing Celie. I am really glad that Broadway is opening up to black plays now. The showing we wnet to was sold out and we were right above the stage, but this book/movie are still my favorites.
