I'm debating getting a ticket to see the Color Purple this December. The two possible times I can go are Saturday 12/17 at 2 PM or Monday 12/19 at 7 PM. Jennifer Holliday is slotted to perform at the Saturday matinee, but will be out for the Monday show. I've read pretty mixed reviews of Jennifer's performance as Shug, so my question is: for those who have seen the Shug understudy (Rema Webb I believe), how is her performance? For those who have seen both, is Webb's Shug strong enough to justify attending the Monday show instead of going Saturday for the novelty of seeing Holliday? [Perhaps it's important to note: I know very little about the show, and this will be my first and only time seeing it.] Thanks in advance!
