Is it out yet? Does it have the full libretto?

I got a copy a few weeks ago, it's a beautiful book. Very much like Wicked's The Grimmerie (so yes, libretto). From what I understood, it was supposed to be in the theatre this past week and in bookstores a couple of weeks later. (Or the other way around.)

Um, everythingtaboo, the Grimmerie doesn't have the full libretto.

I've been checking a few sites on the Internet? Have they pushed the release date to October?

It's official, folks. I was at the Barnes and Noble in Hingham. The Color Purple: A Memory Book will be released on October 10th. God willing, they didn't push back the release date simply to remove the libretto.

Grimmerie doesn't have the libretto? I thought it did.

Well, in this book, Chapter Five is "The Libretto". Looks like the full libretto to me, or at least a lot of it.

The Grimmerie has large portions of the libretto, but not the entire thing.

According to Amazon, it's released now.

I was in Theatre Circle tonight and saw it. I was shocked, I had no idea they had a book out.

It's a beautiful book with tons of great pictures AND the full libretto. It's $40, but amazon has it for $26.40. It is a lot like the grimmerie. I don't have either, but they are both the same size, the same price, and the same squishy cover.

I just saw it at B. Dalton's at South Shore Plaza. It's missing a few lines of dialogue actually but it's basically the entire libretto. I'm so happy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
