Waitress is a collossal bore. Jessie Mueller can't save it.  The theatre smells like (pies) good and (turkey) not so good.  So here's another vote for Color Purple.

The Color Purple. Cynthia Erivo is giving a star making performance.

With the possible exception of Hamilton, the answer to the question "{fill in the name of the currently running musical} or The Color Purple" is invariably The Color Purple.

Personally I would go see The Color Purple over Hamilton..LOL..but that's me.

I enjoyed many elements of Waitress and if you can squeeze in both, go for it..but Color Purple is just breathtaking.

Color purple.

"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."
--Aristotle

I really enjoyed both, but The Color Purple wins by a LONG shot here. No competition or questions.
