A woman in rural jazz-age Georgia overcomes her painful past to forge a life of love and empowerment in this musical adaptation of Alice Walker’s novel.  Featuring powerful performances by an exceptional cast, including Fantasia Barrino of American Idol fame as Celie and Danielle Brooks as Sofia.

Torn apart from her sister and her children, Celie faces many hardships in life, including an abusive husband. With support from a sultry singer named Shug Avery, as well as her stand-her-ground stepdaughter, Celie ultimately finds extraordinary strength in the unbreakable bonds of a new kind of sisterhood.
