I was there, in the front row!! It was absolutely AMAZING.
Wow, that was pretty wonderful. Having just seen the show last night, I can only imagine how this felt live.
They're so incredible. I mean... Cynthia's voice is unreal. And Jennifer tore the roof off of the theatre. Damn.
...But actually, though. Amazing.
My friend was there tonight and he sent me a video of it. I got chills!

Incredible. Between this and seeing the Father tonight, I'm all cried out now I think...
"The Color Purple" and this tribute is currently a trending Twitter topic in the US.
I'm speechless. Just speechless!
Im absolutely speechless. I don't know what to say..
OH. MY. GOD.
This brought me to tears and gave me life!
Wow. Assume that's Cynthia Erivo who sings first? What a powerhouse voice and so much soul, so much passion in that power, too. What a beautiful tribute.
I was deeply moved- incredible voices and incredible tribute
That was insane. Erivo and Hudson gave me chills. I pray these two keep coming back to Broadway again and again and again.

These two women not only sing with their voice but with there hearts. I hope they also come back to Broadway more and more. A album of duets would be nice too.
Cynthia's vocals are seriously outstanding! And Jennifer just brought me to church...wish I was there to have seen this in person!
Day. Made.
