OMAN - were you saying The Color Purple sucks? I really did not think so. Some details were a bit misguided, but overall I loved it. The cast is so good. The ensemble's energy is very high, and LaChanze's preformance was flawless. I was bawling by the end of the show (of course I started bawling somewhere during the first act). LaChanze's "Im' Here" is well worth listening to.
"We don't value the lily less for not being made of flint and built to last. Life's bounty is in it's flow, later is too late. Where is the song when it's been sung, the dance when it's been danced? It's only we humans who want to own the future too."
