THE COLOR PURPLE Revival Cuts

I know many people on here have spoken about how John Doyle's revival of THE COLOR PURPLE made some significant cuts that largely improved the show and made it more focused on Celie's journey. I saw the revival a couple weeks ago and was marveled by it. I wasn't familiar with the show itself except for a couple of songs. Listening to the OBCR, however, I don't notice a lot of cuts from what I saw in the revival. Can anyone who saw both productions elaborate on Doyle's process and the cuts to the script?


"Some people can thrive and bloom living life in a living room, that's perfect for some people of one hundred and five. But I at least gotta try, when I think of all the sights that I gotta see, all the places I gotta play, all the things that I gotta be at"

THE COLOR PURPLE Revival Cuts

I was sad to see the audience participation moment during "I'm Here" was cut. I really missed everyone yelling "Sing, 'Tais. GO HIT IT, FANTASIA! You can do it, 'Tasia! Take your time, girl!"

THE COLOR PURPLE Revival Cuts

I believe only the overture and Church Ladies Easter is cut. There was confusion because the playbill doesn't list many songs that are actually in the show for some reason.

Book wise, plenty was truncated.
