THE COLOR PURPLE has moved its first preview to Tuesday, November 10th (originally announced for Monday, November 9th) at the Bernard B. Jacobs Theatre (242 West 45th street). The Color Purple will officially open on Thursday, December 10th.

CYNTHIA ERIVO is appearing with the support of Actors' Equity Association. The Producers gratefully acknowledge Actors' Equity Association for its assistance of this production.

Based on Alice Walker's Pulitzer Prize winning novel and the Warner Bros. / Amblin Entertainment motion picture, The Color Purple is adapted for the stage by Pulitzer Prize and Tony award winner Marsha Norman, with music and lyrics by Grammy award winners Brenda Russell, Allee Willis and Stephen Bray.

THE COLOR PURPLE is an unforgettable story of enduring love and triumph over adversity. With a fresh, joyous score of jazz, ragtime, gospel and blues, this stirring family chronicle follows the inspirational Celie, as she journeys from childhood through joy and despair, anguish and hope to discover the power of love and life.

John Doyle's critically acclaimed production opened in summer 2013 in London at the Menier Chocolate Factory. Charles Spencer of The Telegraph said The Color Purple, "BLOWS THE ROOF OFF THE THEATRE," and Libby Purvess of The Times says, "IT ROCKS THE HOUSE. NEVER WAS THERE SUCH STAMPING, CHEERING, HOOTING, ROARING AND WHISTLING." And Mark Shenton of The Stage called the production, "A REVELATION. SOMETHING TRULY EXTRAORDINARY."
