Choreography?
umgeoboy,you think the story of the color purple is a 3!? The story is a 10!
6-- If it were revisited, it could be a 10 no question. It needs some work. Mister needs some of his role rewritten. Beautiful show, though.
A VERY STRONG 8! Love the show.

I loved the show. Felicia Fields gives the performance of a lifetime. I loved her performance.
Actually, I loved the entire cast. (The women really shine)
I saw the 2nd preview and I'd say: 7.5

The performers are the best reason to see this show. Even tho the story is great, doesnt mean the show's book is great. I had a few problems with the rushed feeling of the book and some of it made no sense. I do like that they followed Walker's original book more than the movied did, and the relationship between Celie/Shug and Mister had resolution. I only enjoyed a few of the songs, tho they were all very well performed.
Even though I think that Patti deserves the Tony, I am betting LaChanze to win at this point in the season...and she is wonderful in the role.
Saw it just before opening...I laughed...I cried...I marveled....and I had a great time. It touched all the bases for me. Loved it, but lost points for Misters big number....solid 8.
