The Color Purple, a Broadway musical based upon the novel The Color Purple by Alice Walker, is currently showing throughout the U.S. in Chicago, Charlotte, Birmingham, Norfolk, Atlanta, St. Louis, Houston, Washington, D.C., Omaha, Los Angeles, Miami, Rochester, and Schenectady, New York.

The musical first opened at The Broadway Theatre on December 1, 2005. It was directed by Gary Griffin, choreographed by Donald Byrd, and produced by Scott Sanders, Quincy Jones and Oprah Winfrey. The musical features music and lyrics written by Brenda Russell, Allee Willis and Stephen Bray.

The show originally closed on February 24, 2008, after 30 previews and 910 regular performances. The initial $11 million investment was well worth it, as the musical has grossed over $103 million to date. It also earned 11 Tony Awards nominations in 2006, five Outer Critics Circle Awards, three Drama League Awards, three Theatre World Awards, and a Grammy nomination.

"The Color Purple" centers on Celie, a 14-year-old girl in rural Georgia in 1909. She bears two children, who are taken away from her by her father. She ends up being forced to move in with Mister, a cruel man who beats Celie. Her sister, Nettie, moves in with them for a time, but is kicked out by Mister and flees to Africa.

Nettie tells Celie that she'll write, but Mister threatens Celie with death if she touches the mailbox. In the meantime, he collects all the letters that Nettie sent to Celie, unbeknownst to her. Many people pass through their life—Mister's son, Harper; Harper's wife, Sophia; Squeak, the waitress; and Shrug Avery, Mister's longtime lover and musician.

Celie leaves Mister and moves to Memphis, where she finds that she is a very good pants maker, and opens her own business. Mister comes to her and tells her that he has found Nettie, who has with her Celie's grown children. In the end, the whole crew is sitting down to an Independence Day picnic when the sisters, and Celie's children, are reunited.
