With a book by Marsha Norman and music and lyrics by Brenda Russell, Allee Willis, and Stephen Bray, this Tony and Grammy Award-winning musical is based on Alice Walker's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel. Celie's unforgettable journey unfolds over four decades in the American South as she faces hardship with grace, courage, and a growing resolve to reclaim her life. The score features soaring hallelujahs, electrifying juke joint rhythms, and show-stopping anthems. Recommended for ages 13 and up.
