Stage Review: Broadway stars sizzle in 'Color Purple'

Post Gazette: "The musical of 'The Color Purple' movingly captures the spirit, both human and divine, of Alice Walker's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel and Steven Spielberg's popular film. It's the story of Celie's journey, not just as she finds her own voice and self-worth, but of her desertion of and return to God. Walker tracks that journey in a series of letters Celie writes to God. The musical, with music and lyrics by Brenda Russell, Allee Willis and Stephen Bray, begins with Celie's prayer for understanding and ends with a resounding 'Amen.'"
