From Alice Walker’s Pulitzer Prize-winning novel and Stephen Spielberg’s Oscar-nominated film comes a stage musical 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. Through love, she’ll find the strength to triumph over adversity and discover her voice in the world.
