How old is Celie supposed to be? All of the pictures I've seen show the character with dark braids. The Bway.com video I just watched shows her with a greying up-do. What's going on with this?
She ages throughout the show.
In the beginning she's 14 and by the end she's 54.
I didn't know there was anyone left on the planet who ohas not seen the film version...lol.

I've never seen the movie. The musical was my first experience with the story.
Yeah..I'm nearly 20 and I haven't seen the movie. I realize this to be a bit of an embarassment.
I should try and rent it.

I never saw the movie - I'm gonna read the book soon. I saw the musical first.
Go see it - it is fantastic!
I want to see it when I'm next in NYC. God knows when that'll be. Probably next summer.
read the book, then saw the movie, then saw the musical. all within 7 days. As a result, I loved the book, enjoyed the movie, disliked the book of the show but enjoyed the music.
I've never read the book or seen the film, and hadn't realised that so many years had passed until right at the end! Mind you, I was stuck right at the back of the mezz....
I've never seen the movie, but I've read the book. From the bits and pieces I've caught of the film, it seems they changed the sequence of events considerably.
