THE COLOR PURPLE
Unless you like low brow, white bred, stereotype inducing, commercialism promoting theatre.
If that's the case, see LEGALLY BLONDE.

Posted: 7/15/07 at 10:51pmFrom what I've heard Fantasia is something to see in The Color Purple, probably worth seeing. Although she did just extend (so you may or may not get another chance to see her), but who knows how long Legally Blond will last...

Color Purple.
You got tix in advance for Forbidden Broadway? It's always on TKTS. You could of gotten 1/2 off...
"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."

Posted: 7/15/07 at 11:08pmPersonally, I'd say A Chorus Line instead of either of the two, but if I had to pick, I'd say Legally Blonde, mostly because I don't really like the score for The Color Purple that much.
I am a firm believer in serendipity- all the random pieces coming together in one wonderful moment, when suddenly you see what their purpose was all along.

I personally didn't like the Color Purple all that much, mostly because I thought the score was a bit boring.
However, I went in expecting to think Legally Blonde was the dumbest thing I'd ever seen, and it was, in an absolutely HYSTERICAL way. I'd say see that. Unless you're already a fan of Fantasia; then it might be worth seeing her.

Enjoy the show; most likely you'll have fun. I haven't yet seen The Color Purple, but Legally Blonde makes me smile.
Also, your sig is sad.

Why did you even bother asking if you bought tickets to Legally Blonde, even though the majority of people recommended The Color Purple?
What a horrible mistake that was....

but I totally understand why people do now.
Tell us. Why do people do it if they're not going to follow what the people in the thread that they started suggest?
