What is the story with this? Who else is in the cast, etc.?

I am curious to know who else is in the cast as well. She will be great as Sophia.

Detroit run was canceled after the first show due to "technical difficulties that could not be corrected." I heard the first show did not go well. I had tickets for today. Very unfortunate for all involved that it came this far and barely ran.

I wonder what, specifically, didn't go well.

A posted sign on the front door of Music Hall says "All performances of The Color Purple have been canceled by the promoter." A spokesperson from Music Hall said that the cancellation was, "due to technical difficulties they could not rectify."

I wonder if Holliday was being technically difficult?

Wasn't her last big venture mysteriously cancelled as well?

This all sounds like bull...there is nothing in this show that would have them say that it was because of technical difficulties. Will be interesting to see what happens. The last time this show was in Chicago, we had Fantasia here and there was a huge uproar because she missed a few performances...

Well good lord, they only announced the mini tour weeks before it was set to open. The whole thing sounds fishy.

You can still buy tickets on ticketmaster for the shows in Dallas.

Who is in this thing? It sure wasn't auditioned in NYC. I'm so curious.
