I'm going to see a matinee performance of the Color Purple on July 23rd, and I was wondering if Cynthia performs weekend matinee performances or if her understudy goes on. I'll be crushed if I don't get a chance to see her!

All cast members do all scheduled performances unless they're sick or on vacation. I just checked Telecharge and there are no scheduled absences at the moment.
I saw a matinee in mid-May. The entire cast was in (and spectacular).
"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe."

Is it common for telecharge and Ticketmaster or the show's website to post planned cast absences? If so, how do I find that information? We are interested in Color Purple on Friday 7/8 or Saturday 7/9 or Wednesday 7/13.

Yes. How do you find it? On the show page. https://www.telecharge.com/Broadway/The-Color-Purple/Overview
Nothing listed for this week, as AC126748 said. You'll be fine unless someone gets sick.

Thanks neon. Someone mentioned on a thread a couple of weeks ago that Danielle Brooks posted on Twitter in late June that she wouldn't be there on July 9th. But I haven't read that anywhere else.
